Hey guys
Just bought a OTK KDX 32mm chassis and being 193cm tall, if youre of a similar height, i would love to see you in your kart to have a realistic expectation. Everyone keeps saying “youll fit” but HOW will i fit
Ta muchly.

I’m a few cm shorter than you but I haven’t found a kart I can’t fit in yet. My legs are always the highest and most bent but I’m used to it by now.
Another from many years ago
Derek is one of my favorites .
Don’t know why . But it sure is
Epic!
I am getting hoping with the seat pushed right back and pedals right forward I wont be so cramped.
What chassis are you running here, mate?
I had an older Top Kart Big-Boy with a 1055 wheel base and I was quite comfy in that. Getting a 1045 wheelbase, not sure how much worse off ill be in that considering its 10mm?
A long adjustable steering boss can give you the extra knee clearance to the steering wheel without the need to move the seat so much. Been there fitting tall kids in mini chassis.
Yep - have one of those on order
Dude… 193cm tho. What you eating? Taller than alexander wurz (tallest f1 driver) of
Hahah…ah mate. I love being tall for absolutely everything else, except getting my lanky butt into a kart!
Thats awesome.
What chassis was that? Wheelbase?
Did you have the seat pushed right back and pedals right forward? (totally get it wasnt your kart - just curious).
If I fit in my kart like that, I’ll be stoked!
I believe the chassis is OTK. Not sure about wheelbase. I didn’t make any adjustments, though I’m sure the owner is not as tall as me. Most of my height is from my torso. So pedals are OK.
I’m having my own kart built and I think I’ll be getting a seat with more recline than the one in the pic.
What is your inseam on your legs (without getting too personal haha).
Around 31 inches / 78 cm
The first picture is a Comet Eagle. The second is a Margay ignite.
Don’t put the seat all the way back. Put it where it needs to be to go fast. In fact, I put my seats up against the steering uprights to get my percentages right. What seat are you planning on running?
Just the stock OTK for now, mate.
Mate - if thats the go, I’ll be stoked.
Can you send me photos of your pedal setup, please?
I am around 85cm inseam
