Thanks for the replies so far. Regarding chassis characteristics: I remember being told that Zip Storms weren’t as good in the wet as the previous Blade, I’m guessing this has something to do with torsional stiffness, am I right in thinking this means the storm was less stiff i.e. less good at lifting its inner-rear wheel?
I know there are lots of other factors but was just wondering if this basic assumption was correct. Can this be used to make the assumption that the Lightening is probably a little stiffer than the Storm and possibly (if the wet comments were true) the Shark a little softer than the lightening?
I’m not really hung up on having any particular make and I’m also guessing that final choice is quite subjective, I assume that it’s even hard to make an objective decision because even if you did try several chassis with the same engine and driver you’d almost always be quicker with the kart your most familiar with because the driver would have most “feel” for it and you more experience of setting it up correctly. Even with this in mind has anyone here ever tried a new chassis and actually seen an immediate improvement over their previous chassis?
