New to 206, only have only driven rental 206’s before. Went out for third practice. Obviously more grip and g’s, fit snug in seat, but feeling like I’m doing alot of “keeping myself in the seat laterally with arm strength when cornering”. Rentals I could just relax and drive. Knowing the additional …

I can share a bit in that I got a margay as well this year and I primarily race rentals, mostly. The lo206 feels quite a bit peppier than our beloved 9hp gx270 engine. Also, they have a tendency to gear lo for easy corner exit for new guys which can make coming out of corners exciting compared to o…

Didn’t move side to side in the rental kart seat, fit snug and it seems like I sat “down into” the seat more (sides coming up and forward more on my body). Are there different seat shapes with larger (lateral) sides? Is my problem a common one that con be fixed with equipment, or does it just requi…

Yup. Seats come in all shapes and sizes. Rentals tend to err on the side of larger since most of us adult males are 200lbs or more. Some seats have higher sides and/or side padding. Some seats are deeper and wrap around your chest (rib seats). There is a seat out there for you. One that is angled a…

This is my favorite seat. 6’3" 220 lbs-ish. [image] Beasley Special High Back Sprint Kart Seat for Tall Drivers This uniquely shaped clear high back fiberglass seat allows the seat to lay farther back without running into the axle height rules laying back with shorter back seats. Great …

Pile on for seat brands if anyone can think of some brands that offer a variety of solutions [image] Tillett seats and alternatives Chassis Setup, Tires & Handling Forum [DSC_0366_large] I went from a Tillet T11T to a Greyhound VRK and really like it. It’s a combo of the…

Derek, That low COG seat, does it need a full sized dude or do they make that for us skinnies too? Also, I’m kind of surprised there aren’t women’s seats given shape differences.

They have large and medium large. Buy pads, use the the seat, thank us later. :grin: FYI: 5’9, 185lbs and I don’t have to pad an ML more than 1/2" up top.

[image] shake.n.bake: is the seat supposed to keep the lateral movement in check, or the arms with the steering wheel gripped doing most of the work. Im 6’ 235 so seat sides come forward maybe half way on torso. For the most part, you should not feel like you are going to fall out of the side…

When I was heavier deep seat worked best for me. I think Ribtect looks good also

Hold on! How much "arms", how much seat?
