So how does that race monitor work

how anout how to read a Gear ratio chart. whats The diffence in numbers lower better or larger better?

what's happening brother!

Looks like a predator race. I think you went out with the wrong class. Lol

You are looking good in this race . Looks like it was a little rough out there though .

Have you ever raced Poughkeepsie?

Absolute mess... You gave me the bumps and I moved out. 3 didn't give up anything then caused a wreck and stayed in position... That's why I pulled off right behind you

Ben I couldn’t race up there looks like you are running with a bunch of no talent racers

This looks hella fun, how fast these things go?

"How to practice " 101. Perhaps a topic for a video?? Too many people like to "race" in practice I've always stressed to my boys,get some room and have enough space to see what the kart/tires are doing. Ya can't learn a darn thing racing with another kart in practice!!! Great job buddy...

How that 3 kart doesn’t go to the back after taking me out is beyond me

Looks like a Black Sand Sorta night. Racing in the desert.

Can you use some trac tac SAA to help ya grip the seat??😅😅😂

Glad he's okay!

Driving a 500cc Honda in the UAS class will throw you out of the seat!! Lol.

Great content . I have done the praying concerning " Where the hell is the white flag " ? I found listening to music helped me stay calmer and drive somewhat better . Also I was a caffeine junkie on race days and that aggravated the situation . I did have a few races that the kart was spot on , went right to the front and was not tired after the race .

Great video! I definitely hold my breath a lot racing

The Seraph was the pickiest little bastard I've ever driven. Fast as hell when it was happy but it never lasted long.

Bet that wall will jump out and grab ya out the corner

Dont worry guys he is ok

Hey Ben, I'm just thinking ahead, but do you do anything special with your tires to get ready for the off-season

If you know a good fab guy. All the parts can be remade on older chassis. I got a 1993 Margay & a 1997 UltraMax. So far, all basic parts inner change. Plus I’ve done some mods on them both. Using the Margay for the ghost class & the ultra max for the XBP class. It’s all about fun. It’s go kart racing.

I use a tilted engine mount, the top of my front sprocket is pretty much in line with the top of my rear sprocket. Is it true this may create bind/loss of power out of corners? I read that the crank should ideally be the same height as the axle.

Would track tac work on full size car tires? What would it do to the track if we ran asphalt?

I agree 100% on the parts availability part, especially if you're buying a used kart and some new. It's so nice to be able to go online and order the parts you need and not have to worry about when you're going to get it. I have a 2015 kart and parts are hard to get some times.

I tried many brands of chassis... ultramax, phantom, twister, mongoose, titan etc.... ill say hands down the titan t7 was the absolute best kart ive ever had... handled great and was able to use slack parts interchangeably... i liked the badmaxx too by ultramax... if you are just getting started the best kart is whatever you can afford at the time ideally what you see winning a good amount locally... just my opinion

You should do one about buying a motor 😅

Printing out a set-up sheet for the chassis , if it is available , and setting up as close to what the set-up sheet suggests is a great place to Start . It should get you in the ball park so to speak . The older Falcon chassis seemed to be a fast ride for beginners , it just plain worked about everywhere on every track condition .

Is it possible to raise the duro of a Burris 33 from 52 up to 59 in a week, if so how?

I’m new to karting and I got a Phantom stalker frame and I have noticed that you can not find new spindles for it anymore but it is a stater frame for me and it’s been fun trying to learn how to put it together for a stock Pradater class and hopefully Phantom will me out with my frist set up

Firmware Ver. 01.32.08 is out. You should do an update video.

Unfortunately you may not pass if tech does a fuel check if you flush the fuel system with anything other than regular 87 octane pump gas. I think it would save Engines and time if flushed after each race day. I flush all my opens with straight wd-40.

What is something people might be able to mix at home to let set over night? I heard someone make a mix of ammonia, mean green and wager but not sure how it would work

Hey Ben I'm new to karting but I got a kt100 with an l&t wet clutch that's not working is it possible or cheaper to rebuild it or should I buy a whole new clutch instead?

So quick question, not hating here at all. So whats the benefit of this device that it would give you other than picking up the tire and wiping it??

completely off topic question, but I run on we mostly use goat pee where in the winter you want your tires around 30 and in the summer maybe a 35-40. I was wondering a good inside prep to use. I thought about maybe goat or some track tack black sand but I'm not sure how it'll work with the soft tire and the outside wipes of goat. We have one big turn and then a real sharp hair pin turn.

we do a spiner spiny rule so if you hit someone and they spin you both go to the back to deture ruff play

Told you hahaha. Running the clones and the predator makes you relearn to drive again. Tires, chassis, scale, prep, all of that and d8d I say relearning to drive again hahaha. Because it's truth. High horsepower allows you to correct mistakes. Lower power you mess up and your basically done. You have no choice but to be like the rest and push ppl out of the way.... unless you kamikaze into the corners like a lot of them do, that's a no no. My open team mate is also finding this out as well in the clone class. He builds our uas motors and we'll all of these motors. But he recently decided to run the clones, and has found out you need to drive better and keep the laps consistent every lap.

Hey Ben, sent you a email the other day about kart gearing. Just a heads up. Have a good day!

Do-nuts on the left side is not optimal!!! Do-nuts on right side ok!!!

Bodies!! I start every year with a brand new body and last year I finished with a used nose and left side panel from two years ago with lots of duct tape. Lol. Rather frustrating for sure!

On track calls !!! This is a subject that can go on for weeks. Try racing against the track "presidents" son, the race directors brother, the flagmans nephew (all the same kid) get takin out by him, also takes himself out, you get sent to the back and he always gets his spot back, over the Whole season. 😡🤯. But anywho clone racing has if anything taught me to be aware of some many little things, just to try and get that little bit of advantage..

Sadly that kid that dumped you isn't going to learn his lesson till someone roughs him up outside of the kart..... parents have become so ultra competitive with racing at the lowest level thinking their kids the next big thing for Nascar that they teach them to win no matter what they have to do.. sportsmanship has went out the window a long time ago... that was part of the reason I got out of racing the clone classes and started racing predators... I saw more respect in racing running that 100 dollar engine then I ever did in the clones

Unfortunately 8 tires are better than 4 tires in corners. I hate getting rough up and getting srnt to the back. And no most do it on purpose it's the nature of the beast. But it is fun.

Clone racing ? Sounds more like clown racing. 😂 Sounds about right, Ben. It's still pretty fun though.

Think you’ll find that the reason Evan and Kyle can be better in open/UAS is that they’re not loosing as much as far as speed just like the clones. Because you came from open racing you had that HP cushion to get you out of trouble and it makes us complacent. Now in stockers it’s not loosing speed cause you have no HP. It’ll make you way faster all around Ben. If you run that bama like you do this clone you’ll be dumb fast!!!

Dive bombing is the biggest problem. There are a lot of drivers that just have no clue how to drive. Because they are in a go kart. To them it’s just a game, ha ha, funny funny. JMO.

Drive the way you want to be driven used to be the golden rule... we need more aggressive flagmen!! And I agree with Wes a central racing organization to set rules would help. But the flagger should take control of the race.

This track looks awesome
