Stagger calculater - Bobs 4 Cycle Karting The idea of stagger is to have both tires rolling rather than having one sliding Both tires are going to be turning the same number of rpm's, so the LR tire has to be smaller to be rolling on the smaller arc
STAGGER - Bobs 4 Cycle Karting Stagger does the same thing In practice, stagger can help you turn Generally speaking the smaller the track the higher the stagger Stagger will help you turn, but if you have too much, it can slow you down on the straights because of the kart being bound up with itself All chassis manufacturers publish their baseline stagger numbers for
Tire stagger - Bobs 4 Cycle Karting Rear stagger is typically matched to the track configuration---if a track is very small and tight corners stagger might approach 2" but if it is a large track with sweeping corners 1" might be in order I am sure others will give you more specifics
Stagger Calculator. - Bobs 4 Cycle Karting My latest spreadsheet, easy stagger calculator Enter the diameter of your turn, from the center of the outside tire, to the center of the outside tire, close estimate is okay Measure your rear tread width center to center Enter the circumference of your outside tire Enter the
Cross, Stagger, handling - Bobs 4 Cycle Karting RF stagger is often added or removed to increase or decrease cross percentage, Adding will increase cross, decreasing will lower cross Increasing RF stagger in effect adds more negative RF camber and Positive LF camber, as well as adding cross If you give FULL DETAILS we could help you better Based on your other post your on a Minecon correct ?
Cross VS Stagger - Bobs 4 Cycle Karting The purpose of stagger is to introduce an inherent yaw to the left If you kart was responsive enough steering that it didn't need help, no stagger would be neccesary Sprint karts turn in both directions "equally" well with zero stagger If your VCg was hign enough to unweight LR enough, that alone would create the yaw effect I would think on a grippy dirt track, you could get by with little
How do you know when your stagger is correct? - Bobs 4 Cycle Karting Stagger is confusing to me because I see it in different ways Yes I see Al's references to it and his trying to calculate it Actually Al, I don't see how you intend people to use your calculations I think your only intent with it all is to give racers an easy way to find a close baseline
Stagger question - Bobs 4 Cycle Karting Decreasing stagger 1 4" across the front will lower your cross and change the rate of weight transfer You can always rescale and get cross back into the kart, but the change of weight transfer may be a bigger issue
