Myles Rowe Top Kart #6

I have a Top Kart and have been seeing results on the local level but not seeing very good results on the national level. I was wondering if anybody has had a Top Kart and has transffered from it to an OTK kart and can tell me the differences and simularities and which one they recommend. Thanks  :D
Sincerely,

Honestly you shouldn't even compare these since one always wins at the national level while the other hardly wins other then malukas. To me just look at the results and that automatically shows whats fast and whats not

Otk is only a trend the Chassis isnt fast er its only easier to Steer, we tested it out allready

Relevance to the topic?

My opinion is the same as Marco's. The Birel S6 has been a dream to drive, and in my mind is very competitive with OTK karts. Addressing Marco's thing about steering, I believe it is because the chassis has A LOT more castor built into the chassis compared to Freeline and CRG, but that's what I have seen. Never taken a look at homolgation info, but I assume that is the reason.

Marco Dakic

Yes Corrie right, the New birel and flandria have the same Option to give more caster, the otk is easier to drive because bigger steering wheel and Ackermann uses on high Position, otk drivers must steer more then the other Brands, but its not faster :)

If you setup right you can win with alot of Chassis.

Corrie , in real life , i race with CRG-Rotax JR and for me the chassis it's P.E.R.F.E.C.T

But we talk about the comparison and not about what everybody prefeer

Yeah, i tested the Tony anc it has a lot more standard caster. But its lighter, softer and much (!) better to drive than CRG, which will finally result in faster laptimes. Didnt test freeline though.

Its not Tristan, look the whole thing otk is international at first but also always on last Position. And your LH Chassis is not up to date ;)

Its like you test an Mercedes gp 2010 against a 2014 model ;) take gränz crg Prototyp against otk its will be the same time
