Kart Setup

This gives you access to our database of instructional videos on kart setup + diagrams & worksheets.

With your resources, print off the diagrams and fill in your worksheets to use them as a booklet at the race track!

Our Kart Setup program will provide a platform for racing drivers to learn how to make kart setup changes, and when to make them.

Not for you if… You believe you know it all

This program guides you on how to tune your kart in changing track conditions. But if you are under the impression that you know exactly what every setup adjustment alters on your kart then our Kart Setup Program isn’t for you. Even after 25 years of racing at the highest level in world karting, I still learn and make mistakes on race weekends trying to push the boundaries.

Not for you if… You aren’t willing to test

In kart racing, and motor racing in general, there isn’t a one setup fits all approach. Due to different sized drivers, unique driving styles, and tyre degradation, a driver (and their team) must be willing to test to see what works for THEM! It’s no good just copying another driver when you know you’re at either end of the driving spectrum, so this program will be useless if you aren’t there to put in the homework.

Not for you if… You just want to copy your oppositions setup

It’s easy to look at what your competition is using (if you can identify it), but the problem with this is then you don’t have any advantages over them. Testing & tuning is an art and trying to find the 1% difference is what can take you from a perennial podium getter to race winner. Trying new seats, positions, magnesium components and when to use caster are elements you want to know how and when to use to your advantage.

If you’re a driver that tries something once and when it doesn’t work, moves onto the next shiny object rather than finding a solution, then this program might not be for you.

The truth is, when you have a well-tuned kart for your driving style, it’ll make your job of driving, much easier…

The only thing standing between stagnation and success is your ability to stay coachable and doing the work.

You want to know what adjustments do

If you’re new to the sport and want a better understanding on what a stiff seat will do compared to a soft seat, or when to use full caster or minimum caster, then this program is for you. You will get a better understanding on the adjustments required to suit your driving and always have the resources on you rather than second guessing yourself.

You lack support

Truth be told, it’s always easier and faster to learn from someone with more experience than you. If you currently go to the racetrack, and have no one to bounce ideas off, then it will take you much longer to reach your end goal. That’s not to say it isn’t possible, as many privateers can be competitive. But our program is filled with 25 years racing experience in all categories and multiple engine and tyre compounds, so it’s likely what you’re experiencing we have previously been through.

You want to help your driver

There’s a difference between wanting something and expecting something. Racers who want to learn don’t look for excuses, they look to experts for guidance on how they can be better themselves. This is what we can offer you in our Kart Setup Program, the knowledge from world class experience right in the palm of your hand. Motor Racing doesn’t always come down to the driving, so knowing you’re giving your driver the best handling kart means you’ve done your part and it's up to them now.

If you’re a mechanic who wants to give your driver the best handling kart … you need to be a part of our Kart Setup Program.

If you’re unsure who to listen to at your local kart track, or are sick of asking Uncle Bob what he did in 1999… you need to be a part of our Kart Setup Program.

If you’ve never raced before, but want to learn kart behaviour from day one… you need to be a part of our Kart Setup Program.

And…

If you want the opportunity to learn from one of the world’s best & factory Arrow Karts driver, to give yourself a greater chance of success… you need to be a part of our Kart Setup Program.
