Ok so im a little bit on the light side and i know this topic has been braught up and down like a yoyo but would like a more in depth explanation. I originally started on a crg chassis and needed about 22kg of lead and when i moved it about i didnt se much differencce to start with. I then baught a tony kart evr chassis and bolted all 22kg to seat side back of it front of it etc. I found that the kart would just not turn in i would be full lock and i would pritty much just go straight on.

I then moved about 8kg of lead to front floor pan and got better turn in but still not great just wondering if its my seat position is wrong and my lead blocks are quite big. I heard that your suposed to mold the lead to the seat so any info on how to do so pictures of it been done etc?

Any info appretiated
