Caster & Camber

[BARRY MAYERS]

Hi,

I just want you to verify this for me please:

More + camber = more front grip


More Caster = more rear grip


Thanks

Camber does not guarantee front end grip.... as the camber changes as you turn the wheel. Camber adjusts the contact patch of the tire relative to steering input to the ground. We set up karts typically with zero or positive camber. As you turn the wheel, due to the spindle inclination, it adds camber as you turn the wheel.

Caster - adding caster will give you a heavier steering wheel and increases the weight jacking effect. It usually increases front grip, while helping the inside rear tire lift up more.
