- Setup/Tune your go-kart
The most common way drivers approach understeer/oversteer is to adjust certain settings on a go-kart. Adjusting the seat height as well as its position forward or back is considered a bigger adjustment. These settings as well as camber & caster can help in things such as how much a go-kart turns, it’s balance and weight, as well as the chassis flex.
- Upgrade or change parts of your go-kart
Because while doing this to your go-kart is not the solution to all your problems, this helps you start with a fresh slate and increases the potential of the go-kart. The most common thing go-kart drivers do is change to a fresh set of slick tires. The more grip you have, steering the kart is much easier and the driver can easily control the amount of steering input needed to make the corner. Drivers might want to increase the size of their front hub to help steering, alter the rims the use or change the rear axle due to too much grip. Make sure to check your kart for parts that may be rusty, bent, or possess any irregular characteristics. These are some signs that that certain part may need repair or replacement. Take note that this method has one disadvantage however, which is the fact that parts are by no means cheap.
- Improve your fitness
Fitness is something that a driver can easily overlook.Softer compound tires make it more physical on the driver also with the increased g-forces. Improving your fitness is easy to learn, but hard to execute.These include your hands, arms, and even core for the kart to have good balance.
