Camber & Caster

[BMPoland1993]

Hey Forum,

Just wanted to know if someone has any advice as to how much camber/caster is needed on a gokart. It has no suspension, rides on 13" tyres. Terrain: mix of straight and flat grass w/ some offroading.

In the attachment is the gokart spindle and frame. To achieve camber angle I'm planning to use special steel spacers (between spindle and frame) with the given degree of slant.

Thanks,

B.

Caster between 5*- 7* no more than 10*.
Camber 0* +- .

I’m pretty sure Denny is saying try to get no camber

No camber! 0, none, nada, nyet, zip, and zilch!

Is that metric? Imperial? English? Spanish? Alien? Please be more specific!

I thought I got most of the major languages except for alien. I have no clue on that one! I guess I’m going to have to research it more! EZ do you know when your siblings are going to be back to earth?
