This is due to what is referred to as a fight for dominance of the rear tires. The right front does not load enough and the left rear reloads too soon resulting in a tight condition.
Why? Not enough load is on the right front to relieve the load on the right rear. Medium cross (the dead zone) has inconsistent handling and is slow. You are mainly running off the right rear and keeping the left rear from causing the kart to push. Why? Because you are controlling the left rear but not maximizing the right front, the handling is somewhat sluggish. On a high grip track, low cross tends to give you a kart that does not get tight and handles well, but does not give you much speed off the turn. So, if you now had 50% cross and 55% leftside, increasing cross, moving it closer the equaling leftside will tighten the kart.
Quarter midget cross weight free#
Raising cross will free up the kart because you are moving away from leftside weight. Lowering cross to 60% will tighten the kart because it is now closer to equaling the leftside weight. Here are some examples: Cross 65% and leftside 58%. If you run low cross then raising cross will tighten the kart. So if you run high cross, lowering cross will tighten the kart. Anytime cross is moved closer to equaling leftside it tightens the kart. A confusing thing associated with cross is which way loosens or tightens the kart? The answer is it depends on where you are at on cross relative to leftside weight. Another function is that a higher cross setup will place more load on the right front which prevents the right rear from overloading on exit. They are: dynamic weight distribution to the rightside tires and to control how the kart turns. It is quite simple.Ĭross has two primary functions.
