THREE TYPES OF WEIGHT TRANSFER DEFINED

The three types of weight transfer are:

1) Mechanical Weight Jacking - This type of weight transfer occurs when the steering wheel is moved, causing the front wheels to turn. It can be seen and measured on scales.

2) Dynamic Weight Transfer - This type of weight transfer occurs in corners. It is caused by lateral G-force shifting weight off of the left side (LS) tires and onto right side (RS) tires of the kart.

3) Dynamic Weight Jacking - This type of weight transfer is really just a part of dynamic weight transfer. When weight transfers from the LS to the RS of the kart in a corner, most of the weight will tend to go toward either the right front (RF) tire or the right rear (RR) tire. It is determined by chassis design and setup.

all hot stuff !!!

Happy Christmas
