Karting General Discussion -All Karting questions in here

I used radiator, helmet (where your chin/mouth is) and nosecone facing driver. The last one isn't something you would do for a race if course! Radiator is good, until the water temp gets high enough to heat the adhesive enough to start coming off. Under normal circumstances not a problem, but if you starte getting hot you will run into trouble. I had my gopro come off a kart at rock island last year for that very reason. Came off going over a bump at about 55. went nearly 15feet in the crashed down on the ground, casing opened up and the whole thing traveled down the track.

Fecker still works

For starting out, I would go with the helmet by the chin setup. Reason being you get a great drivers' eye view as well as being about to read your mychron on the video and observer your steering inputs. Its a good training\improvement tool.

Here's a view from the helmet cam...

Thanks for that man. I`ve seen some fantastic videos filmed from the radiator alright, so much so that I have ordered the stand that lets you clamp it onto the lid of the radiator.

Be careful with clamps, I've tried attaching a go pro to things that rattle allot and clamps can slip a lot.

I would have thought the sticky pads would be better as there's less flex in them too. That was another problem, the further away from the clamping point the camera is the more shake you'll see in the video. If your just worried about the glue strength fading with the heat from the radiator it is also possible to get heat resistant sticky pads. You could replace the glue pad with the heat resistant one.

Another way of mounting (but pricey) would be to get a manfrotto super clamp along with a ball and socket camera tripod head and the gopro tripod mount. You need a good ball and socket head to stop it slipping though.

You could just stick it on with the pad and fasten it with a couple of pieces of safety wire too.

I always do that anyway. I got the motorsport edition and I always tie it off out of paranoia.

"Offical" trailer for the Become One documentary released yesterday...

I think they said the last one was offical as well, but anyway. This is a new one

Hits iTunes in March sometime.
Interestingly enough, it doesnt have a website perse. There's a kickstarter page for it and a FaceBook page (of course), twitter too I think.

Would anybody be able to help me with regards to the Mojo tyres barcoding for the Rotax Max class. I know that if you want to race in MSA Karting in England that you must use yellow barcoded tyres, but you don`t in Ireland. Is there any performance difference between the yellow and green barcoded tyres? Because if not, the green ones are substantially cheaper!

I think they still run prokarts up north at nutts and so on not down south. No idea what happened to the class, talk about cheap racing. Slow yeah, but totally hassle free!

More and more people have been talking about them lately, might be time to a bit of a FaceBook initiatve to get something organized going. Tullyallen im sure would accommodate something. Look for the super4 ireland group on facebook. They are all ex-prokarters and can tell you more about where you can race yours.

Can anyone recommend a good spray paint for doing the frame of a kart? Im looking for something thats good quality and easy to use...and if possible at a reasonable price!

Hello! Im from Argentina!
I travel to Ireland from June 19 to July 3.
I wanted to go to a shop to buy a economic suits, gloves and helmet support.

I go to a hotel in dublin 1. Is there a location near so I walk?

Thank you!
