Go-Kart Racing - Tips,
Tricks & Tracks
Oversteer
Oversteer gives the front tires more grip on the track.
Shifting your weight forward when turning will create
more steering control. Oversteer is useful on low
traction surfaces.
Understeer
Understeer is just the opposite of oversteer. When you
want less front tire grip, lean back in the cockpit of your
kart when turning. Understeer is useful on high traction
surfaces.
Adjusting the Rear Wing
A low drag body and adjustable rear wing gives your Hot
Wheels™ Go-Kart an aerodynamic (air-o-die-nam-ic)
advantage. That means that air flows over and around the
kart efficiently, which contributes to speed. You can adjust
the rear wing on your kart. (At really high racing speeds,
rear wings on real race cars are used to prevent back-
end lift.)
