From all the youtube videos out there you are far the best when it comes to how to work on go karts yiu get a 5 *****
thanks VIKI
Love your videos buddy..
Hey Pat, thanks heaps for liking and sharing the videos Broski!
Love the videos! I would love Vortex Rok GP content like maintenance or specific tricks.
I’ll have to get one delivered to a Australia from Italy as we don’t have them here yet. Maybe if the suppliers are watching you could recommend them send one over for us 😉
Power Republic It wouldn’t surprise me if they do. Listen OTK, Power Republic needs a Rok GP so that we can all see the amazing performance. It’s just good business.
Korey Hahahah perfect
awesome info/vid, thank you! I will make a purchase from your sire.
Awesome, thank you!
Just amazing and very helpful videos
Hey Atanas, thank you and you are very welcome. did you share them on FB?
@@PowerRepublic I am not very active in social medias, but i am a still learning mechanic and this is very useful for me
Great Video!!
Thank for tuning in again Phil, see you in couple of weeks
@@PowerRepublic most definitely!!! Will definitely pop in and say Gday 😃
Interesting and I'm wondering if any of this applies to a dirt kart where grip challenge is a way of life.
I not sure as I haven't ripped it up on the dirt yet. without major grip in the dirt, I reckon it would help. give it a go and get back to us
Thanks for making this video!
you're very welcome, hope it helps next time it rains at your local track
Nice timing...
sometimes we nail it!
Vou fazer CAD
Aprender muito, na minha época caster , curtinho outra pegada , andei X30 assustei com delei que o x30 é fato pisa demora pra responder, aqui no Brasil coroa definido , no meu melhor ponto ultrapassar eu tinha muita final dava pra usar caroa maior em trecho quase passava ali, em compensação era horroroso no cotovelo, via o Vitor e Juliano Moro fazer aquele cotovelo, nunca que consigo mais o Prado era mais tocada meu , ganhava , ele foi pra tudo, se Prado não andasse eu tinha para bem antes, eu a plasticidade da arte de dois pilotos e via Prado ganhar tudo
Brilliant video! Question, I use a 12t front engine sprocket and a 82 rear when it’s dry.. I’m new to driving in wet.. what size rear sprocket do you recommend? Thanks
Thanks Nathan. I would just add 2 rear teeth 🦷
Interesting you mention putting front bar in for the wet. Is this for an otk? thought you took it out in the wet or does having it out make it hard for the kart to release out of the corner? Also what are your thoughts on running wider front hubs in the wet? Tossing up whether to invest in some wide alloy front hubs or 17mm front stubs/40mm rear axle setup instead.
Hi Glenn, yes that what I tend to do, helps activate the front more. try it out next time it rains and let me know how it goes. Wide alloys for sure in the wet IMO
How do you handle the lack of visibility from water spray coming off the carts in front?
Great question. I like RainX as a quick fix.. otherwise you can buy a 'turbo-visor' attachment that can be stuck on your helmet. It is a disc visor with a bearing in the centre and veins on it so that it spins as the wind hits it.
Hi, checking what you said a 6:30: earlier you said in the wet reduce front sprocket e.g. from 11 down to 10, but at 6 min 30 you say "add some more teeth"? is that meant to be to the rear sprocket?
yeah more teeth in the wet. cause your corner speed is lower and the straights are effectively shorter because you brake earlier in the wet
Im not sure i will be doing much wet driving, swapping setup sounds like a pain in the ass, not to mention cleaning and drying. I dont think it will be a problem though as i dont need to compete and will be able to avoid rain for the most part... i hope.
you are missing out on the best karting of your life if you don't go in the rain on slicks. Mad fun and definitely worth the effort
@@PowerRepublic odds are it will rain at some point, and that will happen. Its the whole swapping tyres, and resetting everything im not planning for.
@@christianbuczko1481 got it, just pump up the slicks and send it!
Great video as usual,you talked about front set and jetting but didnt mention the rear end set up for wet conditions do you leave the rear the same or do you change hubs or just use the adjustment in or out. we run a 1040 axle.many thanks.
Great question. I like to leave my rears out as wide as the side pods. Almost not adjusting as the wheels are narrower. And then in put on the biggest hubs I have. That’s what I like , give it a go and let me know how it feels.
Thanks i will try leaving the rears like you say ,we did pull the rears in as far possible yesterday seemed ok but probably not as good as it could have been if we would have left them level with the pods.👍
@@rickyhutchings2263 just like it for traction and stabililty. Other guys like them narrow probably for the opposite reasons. so much is personal preference
@@rickyhutchings2263 Just remember when pulling your rears in that they must protrude past the "Rear Impact Protection/ Bumper". Your rears wheels must be at all times the widest part of the Kart. KA rules. This applies to Australian Karting under KA authority, may not apply in other countries or Non KA clubs. KA Technical Rules Chapter 1 part 8:G:8.6. Got pinged for this at Ipswich and had to put spacers back in on the outgrid. I did take 3rd place for that meeting. TAG 125 Restricted Heavy. My only podium at IKC B^(
@@henryhardachre9603 You can buy adjustable rear bars to allow bringing wheels in, good piece of kit fr the wet
Hello I have a magnesium chocks and rims , with how many newtons should I tighten the nuts???
The purpose of tightening a bolt/stud, is to stretch it. so, it does not matter what the rim material is. Tighten as normal.
Do you run the same race-line in the wet as In the dry ?
No you will want to stay away from where the rubber is on the track as that will become very slippery, some people will go off line to break then back onto the outside to go round, but breaking on the rubber will be very greasy and slippery so best to stay away from it, as well as having a practice day and trying things out yourself
no, especially on slick. even on wets you can run 'off line' so that there isn't as much slippery rubber to drive over. a good place to start if you don't know any better or have never driven a kart in the wet, is just try and drive in the middle of the track the whole way around the curcuit. this way you will missing the majority of the race lines.
Agreed ^^^^^^^^^^
Love your videos mate can't wait to get a kart and start driving more. Would you recommend a 206/208 or a x30 for a first kart? 25 year old male with open wheel testing only.
If you mean L0206 by Briggs it's a bit slower, I would personally go with an x30, it's more expensive but much fun and more of a challenge but that's just my 2 cents.
X30 everyday, they are so awesome. but check at your local club to make sure there is someone to race with X30's. otherwise if everyone else has the Briggs you might have to go that way
Agreed
@@PowerRepublic yea, you could even go Rotax or Vortex if your local tracks run those.
@@sahib6742 yeah its more about what your local guys are running when you start in my opinion.
Hi, can i ask you a quesitos? Thanks!
Yes? corse mate, whazz up?
At the start you said something abot punds?
pos maybe?
Ferrari might need some help from you guys....
if you could make that happen for us it would be much appreciated 😉
Hy you cant made me a video show me how to adjust the ignition to a minirok vortex engine?
We have a squish and I.T video. Have you watched that one?
@@PowerRepublic no were do i found that?

@@PowerRepublic thank you
Shitty tires go 40.... still no grip 🤣🤣
yeah I forgot to mention that
