I dunno? I'm guessing Simon and problably Ron? Although he won't order it till the day before the race, actually our 4th race as he will use his 3 drops right off the bat because he won't be ready. LOL

Yes , me ! Not new, but a used 12 month old Italkart Rapido V. Fingers crossed it's a goodie. I don't have it yet, it's being shipped from Seattle.

You'll love that chassis. Dots or no dots on the italkart's front spindals?

Some manufacturers offer many variations to front end geometry, Italkart is no different. They distinguish a variation (degrees of camber) on spindals with the use of a dot (indentation) on the spindle. Some racers have equated better performance to these spindles (dotted spindles have a greater degree of camber than no-dots) because less steering input is needed to unload the inside wheel, and helps to free up the kart through turns.

Wow! And all I wanted was to get my tires somewhat equal in toe.  |
