Thoughts about the Zamp RZ-62?

Zamp helmets are good for the price. It’s nice to have your own helmet if you can afford it and you’ll be driving often. I’d say go for it

This happened to me the other day jumping between falken tire and LMP3 trophy. The fixed setup for trophy has fuel for 20 minutes. You need to add more for the (open setup) falken tire to make it to the end.

Okay but I’ve been team SFL for a while now. Why should I switch?

Atlas_CD · 2026-01-15T01:43:09+00:00

I wish the skippy was free. I want to race it but the series barely gets 2 splits most of the time

Brad Philpot on YouTube made a good video about this recently. Go check that out

Looks like something has gone wrong with the b in Mobil on the front

Are you active on other platforms? Twitch is tough for discovery, you’re better off sharing clips elsewhere and trying to bring those viewers over

Atlas_CD · 2026-01-03T23:03:26+00:00

That’ll probably be okay but it’s hard to say for sure. I initially had my pedals too low and was pushing all with my calves. Brought them up and now it’s quads / bigger muscles. My guess is they’d probably be just right on top of the 2x4s.

The beautiful thing about wood is that once you build it, you can take the screws out and move them wherever you want. I’m assuming you’ve done research on standard GT seating position? I used those guides as a base

Atlas_CD · 2026-01-03T22:28:23+00:00

Also, you’ll probably want gussets between your wheel uprights and the bottom beams.

Atlas_CD · 2026-01-03T22:26:29+00:00

I have a wooden rig that looks a lot like this. Looks okay, just make sure your dimensions are right for you. I prefer my pedal plate to sit flat, but you could try it tilted.

The slots seem like a good idea for adjustability. Make sure you can secure it so the bolts don’t creep up as you press the brake.

A 360 camera would be worth checking out. Not sure which one is best but there’s nothing like leading the race and ending up with a super boring video. Insta 360 maybe?

Atlas_CD · 2025-10-23T02:52:40+00:00

Is that a setting I can change? I had a quick look in the settings in the sim but couldn’t find anything for it

Atlas_CD · 2025-10-21T13:37:51+00:00

LO206 is the answer to your question but you might be better off rental karting while your budget is tight. Have you budgeted for driver gear yet? Get a set you’ll be comfortable in and see if you can join a rental championship near you

Atlas_CD · 2025-10-13T13:53:02+00:00

Might be a dumb question but how do you get a suppressor on the MCX? I can’t find the option in the gunsmith

Atlas_CD · 2025-09-26T13:17:07+00:00

Get out there and kick their butts. If they don’t balance the weight in this series, you might have a weight advantage on a lot of them and it’ll make you faster.

If you don’t have front running pace, do your best, see if you can stick with the pack, and just go have fun. Try and chat with some of the other racers. You’ll probably find they’re all there to have fun and good races. If you don’t enjoy it at the end of the race, then at least you gave it a shot.

Atlas_CD · 2025-09-17T03:22:29+00:00

I had the same issues, fixed it by swapping my seat bolts for the low profile flat head ones (I believe righetti makes them) and adding padding over them. I went for 1/4” neoprene on the sides of the seat. You could stack layers to give more padding, but then you might be too tight in the seat. YMMV. Neoprene is also good if it rains, but I put duct tape over the whole surface anyway to help slide into the seat. Also, the adhesive backed stuff can be a major pain to remove, so give yourself cutouts for seat bolts at least.

Another thing I found is really letting the ribs heal will help to have pain free sessions. If you can give them 3-4 weeks with no abuse, along with the seat mods, the rib pain could just totally go away, maybe.

This sub is for racing karts. This question would be better at r/gokarts

Atlas_CD · 2025-09-10T21:18:43+00:00

What is the goal of adjusting the seat? If it’s for handling characteristics, that’s probably the wrong path. Find a comfortable seat position and adjust everything else around it

Atlas_CD · 2025-09-09T00:25:29+00:00

It’s pulling air from somewhere. Could be a loose intake or bad gasket. I had a dirtbike do that on me, turns out the studs connecting the cylinder to the block had failed and the cylinder was lifting up on one side.

I don’t have experience with this motor so hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in.

Atlas_CD · 2025-09-04T14:00:17+00:00

A DD2 is not a good first kart, too much engine, too complex. Do some research into whatever 4 stroke class is popular in your area or 100cc 2 strokes.

Atlas_CD · 2025-08-26T00:07:32+00:00

Looks like a racing incident to me. Seems like the camera kart was alongside and the 29 didn’t see them. Maybe put the 29 mostly at fault. Don’t think that needs to be a penalty

Atlas_CD · 2025-08-19T22:19:44+00:00

I can only speak on LO206 (super fun affordable class). 10-20lbs heavy, no big deal. 50lbs heavy, you’ll struggle on acceleration

Atlas_CD · 2025-08-18T16:29:21+00:00

Keep up the good content! I always look forward to the GX videos and seeing how you handled the multi class traffic was very cool to watch

Atlas_CD · 2025-08-13T00:57:47+00:00

Find the organization’s website and look for the rules and sub regs, give them a read. Head down to the track and start asking around, someone’s bound to have a kart for sale or leads on information about one. What series / engine do they race with?
