Default RE: locking diff/ caster

caster does change the wieght on the rear tires as you turn and that is that. No arguement I know I am correct. I race my go kart and that is a well known fact. Think about it. If the king pin is tipped back it will make the tire go up or doun as you turn. This also helps the car go back to center or go straight. And will change the wieght distribution amungst the car and it will make on tire in the back have less weight on it than the other, the inside tire.


I was thinking about the whole locking diff thing and decided that it wasent a good idea. Also scence it is such a pain to get to.
