Thank you simon , one of my problems was comming back to Karting after many years racing and playing with cars was kart chassis are monumentally harder to set up .

Now actually that's probably not true ,its just i know how to play with a caterham type chassis but with nice independent wishbones all round .

Ask me to corner weight a car and its a dodle , full geo setups and what works and what doesn't are easy , but then its what you are used to.

radial tyres for example on a car (assume rwd) react well to quite a fair amount of negative camber , dependant of course to how your antirollbar is set up and how stiffly sprung things are .

Where as a crossply tyre like little or no camber.

caster on cars unless running rosejointed wishbones is set and static so isn't an issue

now i know the answer to this in theory, but would this explain positive static camber on a kart chassis thats soft, being used to bring zero camber under load ?

and i guess when you said earlier you induce static toe in, because you get toe out, with driver weight on the chassis you actually meant the opposite .

I like explanations of the whys and whats , its great to get given a hint of try this it works without understanding why it works , and often the theory books go too far and bury people in physics rather than a practical explanation ...
