Thanks,

I've been to a few club day meets down at Henderson and looking at getting a 30/32mm chassis with a Rotax/Leopard. Which catergory did you race..?

I wanted to go the 100S but it seems too troublesome needing a push start all the time, I want to be able to go out on my own and do a few laps when I want without needing someone to push start me all the time. Thats why I'm going the 125's.

Cheers,

I dont know wheter clubs in your area are mostly aka affiliated but next year i know the aka is enforcing that 125 drivers have a b grade licence which means you need to have 10 races under your belt other wise you cannot drive the rotax or leopard it is a high possibiltiy of this being put into motion so watch yourself you could have a kart but not be able to drive

Senior classes.....lots of unhappy 125 owners out there and this is creating lots of debate. 125 class for juniors is experimental and B class. As for push starting....trial and error and easier at Cockburn as its downhill...other tracks not so easy! Clutched versions of the 100 cc engines are availaable but at a cost. Drop me a PM if you need any further advise.

Cheers,

Michael

I am looking at selling my BMax with rebuilt 125 leopard as I just don't have time to use it anymore. Also have a 3 Kart side opening trailer but the setup will not be cheap.

Comes with Kart stand,Mychron 4 with data logging, spare rims, sprockets etc.

Send me a PM if you want to discuss prices.

Cheers

Ken

karting is great fun. best tip is to start out in the mid range karts and work your way up. the 125's are pretty punishing to start off with but it all depends on your size and background.

but give kartmart a buzz.. my parter Megan is the one behind the counter and she should be able to help you with your karting needs.

hurricane kart club is a good club to join as they dont charge members for practice use (except club runs etc) unlike the others.

also, for those with 125's, shifters and opens once every three months or so there will be meetings down at collie, contact kartmart or cockburn kart hire regarding this, the next one is at the start of december from memory. This is great fun as you get to max your kart out around most of the track :)

10 meetings before you can run a rotax in seniors? aw man, here goes my plans for shits and giggles karting fun when i have some cash spare to buy one

denver, yeah it sucks.. whats even worse is from memory (very bad right now, got out of hospital 2 days ago) is that I think they are getting rid of practice/recreational licences!!! :)

lol i havnt been racing this year and when i go up to the track not being rude to anyone but i see alot of amateur drivers or how id like to say bush bangers ppl who just buy a kart and go for a thrash, the amount of accidents this year is alot more then the past 5 years of my karting life, i dont belive ppl who are starting out should race a leapord or rotax ive been to some meetings this year and i know them classes are full now however less then half know how to drive properly and safely

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
