Not sure how KC1 works does it only use front brakes when u pull the lever?  unlike a shifter which is always on?

it's the front brake, what do you mean?

Aritz

The lever is only for front brakes in KC1 (KF1 in real world)

In the KS1 (KZ1) the brake is with pedal and it activates both brakes

Sorry if this was not the question :)

Ok this is what i thought.  Now  i will tune the brake power so it doenst lock.  Before i thought the front brakes were applied when i was pressing the pedal so i drove the kc3 kart instead.  Now I can drive kc1 with everyone.

i hated when they added front brakes to the karts
i think only shifters need front brakes....lol

I calibrated it anyway and noticed it only works braking straight and into tight turns... becuase on my steering wheel the i use the paddle shift button and it has not pressure sensitivity so i lock when i press it unless I set it around 36%

you can use more %  if there more track grip

Like in F1 they did this to promote more passing....I dosent bother me.. I still prefer KC3 the most.

I never use front brake. This is true for the KC1 and the KC3. Should I use it? Am I doing it wrong?

If you use it for KC1 you can brake much later. ;)

Thanks. I will try to set my clutch pedal to be the front brake, but isn't that unrealistic?

I use the right paddle shift on my driving force pro.  I have to put it at 36% becasue its not pressure senseitive. Are the pressure sensitive on the G35 or G27 or other wheels?

Bruno    The clutch pedal is a funny idea like reminds me of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSDBjDZVfcU
You should use your clutch as your brake and your brake and your front brake

I own a G27 and AFAIK it is not pressure sensitive... it is just a button
