Snow

[jmess1910]

So we all know the snow is coming soon. But im a bit worried that i wont be able to ride my kart on it. i have a 30 series torque converter and i know that it doesnt help when im in sand. I have a feeling the same will happen in the snow. does anyone have any experience with it?

what do you mean by doesn't help?
does it just spin the tires? or does the tc no function correctly?

Might slow you down a little but snow chains

Even with my live axle, my 18" turf tires just don't grab enough traction. I can spin the tires and turn donuts all day, but travelling in a straight line just ain't happening. Maybe with better tires you can...

Get tires better suited for the situation. You wouldn't use saw tooths in sand nor would you use 6 baffle sand tires on a track.

i mean like in sand the tires dont spin at all. the engine revs but wont move me. i weigh 175. but when i get out and pull the throttle and push a little it moves. im just worried the same will happen in the snow

Clutch fried? Under geared?

You probably need more teeth on the rear axle.
