●The narrower the front train is, the easier the
steering is.
●If you wish increase the front grip, increase
the width of the front with spacers.
Dry track
AB
It is advisable to adjust the front train with a spacer of 15 mm
(A) (1 spacer of 15 mm inside), and use the short hub: 90
mm (B).
●With the front brake on your chassis, the
adjustment of the front is limited.
●You must not use more than a 20 mm spacer
(A) (1 spacer of 15 mm and 1 spacer of 5 mm),
on the yoke side on each stub axle if the kart is
equipped with front brake.
Wet track (without front brake))
AB
It is advisable to adjust the front with a spacer of 25 mm (A)
(1 spacer of 15 mm and 2 spacers of 5 mm inside), and use
the long hub: 100 mm (B).
Wet track (with front brake)
AB
It is advisable to adjust the front train with a spacer of 20 mm

● 1° lower eccentrics place in negative camber position .
Increase the camber
● Same position as the Camber - More negative, p. 20
but replace the lower 1° eccentric by the 2° eccentric.
Reduce the camber
● Same position as the Camber - More positive, p. 20.
●If eccentrics are to be used in extreme
conditions, use higher degrees eccentrics and
refer to the ITAKA web site.
●Some negative camber generally improve the
performances of the kart.
