Default Shock settings on the Clone Karts.

Most of us Clone Karters have the adjustable shocks with the red springs. Carter has them set to the medium position from the factory. I am 195 pounds and take my 160 pound wife with me on lots of rides so I clicked all 4 of my shocks to 1 notch from the highest setting wich pre-loads the spring more. I wanted to make sure we would not bottom out. How do you guys set your shocks?

Carter also recomends tire pressure between 6-8 Lbs an all tires. I run all 4 at 7 Lbs. How are you guys running yours? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I bought a single seat sahara, mostly becauselocal dealer and parts available. 4 & 7 lbs in tires sounds right, thats whats stated on the sidwalls of mine anyhow, works good in mine . Shocks on mine are at mid point in front but my rears are not adjustable. If you put some moisture on the shock shaft and run it in some dusty area you can see what the max travel was after you stop.

I run the shocks on the middle setting. I usually run about 10 psi of air pressure. Any less, and I continually blow the tires off the beads in high speed turns.
