1B. Rear Seat Struts
Each Kosmic Kart is supplied with two (2) supplemental seat struts, one (1) for each side.
The extra seat struts are designed to be fixed atop the rear axle cassette and then fastened
to the seat with the provided hardware. A good place to start is using one (1) on each
side. Many drivers prefer to use two (2) on each side, which will effectively force more
direct-pressure from the driver's weight transfer on the rear tires. This will consequently
improve grip to the rear of the chassis.
By removing seat struts you allow for the rear of the chassis to release and spring off the
track easier. This can be an added benefit when attempting to improve the chassis
performance during corning. Be careful though, by removing seat struts, the initial
cornering may improve, but the potential to create an over-steer on exist will become
more prevalent as well as the overall balance of the chassis.
J3 has several lengths of seat struts, so don't rush it, get the right size!
