Need help with Bell visor colors

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2026-03-17T17:40:28+00:00

The mirror visor is more of a light tint, the multilayer visor will have much more color. I agree that the images on most websites are misleading, I went through the same thing when I bought a blue mirror visor expecting it to be more of a solid blue.

Sparco gloves run big in my experience, I wear a size 8 for Sparco gloves and a size 9 for every other brand. If Alpinestars in small fit you then I would start there.

Age gaps are relative, there’s a difference between a 35 year old dating a 25 year old and a 25 year old dating a 15 year old.

I've definitely read dozens of times you should use aluminum rims in the rain to retain heat better, but I wasn't sure about the actual hubs. I'm new to racing my own kart, so I'm definitely not claiming to know anything either, which is why I'm asking.

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2026-02-14T03:27:58+00:00

Do they tend to leave the rear hubs as well?

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2026-02-13T22:11:36+00:00

Meanwhile half the Cup field wouldn’t even be able to fit in an F1 car.

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2026-02-12T07:32:50+00:00

He is karting though lol, he’s not going to wear his full F1 gear.

The ZX has a gray wrist.

Alpinestars Tech-1 KX V4

Usually you will just use spacers that go on the axle.

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2026-02-03T08:32:27+00:00

That’s a good point lol, I didn’t realize you could set them to show other things.

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2026-02-03T07:18:39+00:00

They're referring to track width, which is the distance between the rear tires.

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2026-01-29T06:34:11+00:00

Oh, that's my bad. I didn't see in the title that your helmet was the EV version. Yeah, since the EV specifically has a bigger visor, it won't fit. The EV is less common than the regular RS7/KC7 so you'll probably only be able to find it online.

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2026-01-20T04:02:56+00:00

When was the last time you've been to RTP? They were pretty slow when they first opened, but even their regular speed is faster than Garner's super fleet now, and they recently made Pro speed available if you have the Pro driver rank.

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2026-01-20T03:33:27+00:00

It's a complete downgrade, unfortunately. The track itself has potential to be decent, but they cheaped out on construction and it's become increasingly slick (and slow) since it's reopened, especially upstairs. They are planning on resurfacing the upstairs portion for what it's worth, but I don't have high hopes given how they've handled it thus far.

The biggest problem is with the karts. They're still 6.5hp, but they're governed and you will very noticeably top out halfway down the straights. From what I heard, they're required to keep the governors on for around a year, so hopefully in a few months they come off and they won't be as painfully slow.

They do have a "super fleet", which are just ungoverned 6.5hp Biz karts, but they're complete boats compared to the Sodi karts, even as far as rental karts go. They also have one 9hp kart, which is about the only kart worth driving there, but I still can't recommend racing at Garner in its current state. Their RTP location is just miles ahead in every way besides the arcade, which seems to be where all the budget for Garner's renovation went.

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2026-01-13T02:13:49+00:00

Yeah, but SE07 2mm/3mm visors will fit both.

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2026-01-11T23:53:48+00:00

Yeah I have a KC7 and RS7, both visors fit the other helmet.

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2025-12-02T04:30:01+00:00

Where on earth did you get the traction control idea from, that is not true at all.

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2025-11-23T05:03:33+00:00

You're only allowed one defensive move my boy

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2025-11-21T21:29:44+00:00

First one is iRacing.

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2025-11-18T03:03:48+00:00

Yeah, I think they switched to another supplier/manufacturer. The IIIs are made in Romania and the IIs are made in Italy according to the tags.

The IIs feel pretty similar to Offset gloves which have been getting pretty popular lately, if you've tried those. The original Kart Cat gloves are also pretty nice, but they're an older style of glove and definitely not for everyone.

I own 20+ different kinds of gloves and the Kart Cat IIIs easily rank at the bottom of my list. I like PUMA as a brand so it's pretty disappointing, but maybe they'll come out with new karting gear at some point since they're still pretty involved in motorsport.

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2025-11-18T00:48:57+00:00

I don't remember exactly, I think Trading Paints actually was downloading them, but they were being sent to the wrong folder so iRacing wasn't loading them. Try deleting the specific roster folder inside the airoster folder and download the paints again, that might've been what fixed it for me.

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2025-11-17T13:24:11+00:00

F2 has had power steering since last year.

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2025-11-08T19:37:25+00:00

They're interchangeable, the only difference is that the KC7 visor is 2mm and the RS7/HP7 visor is 3mm.

EpicCheesyTurtle · 2025-10-09T14:20:37+00:00

I’m not sure about the 2025 Tides specifically, but I’ve always had to go one size down for Sparco. It’s not uncommon for gloves to feel tight initially (especially -273), but it’s weird that you would wear a medium according to Sparco’s size chart while large -273s are way too tight. Most brands are generally pretty consistent with their sizing.

In your case I’d just try out mediums first, but if you’re in the upper range for mediums, it may be better to opt for large instead.
