Calculate Weight Percentage
Use this feature to determine your current weight percentages or to see what corner weights you need to adjust to reach your optimal percentages.  See what effect moving ten pounds of lead to the left rear will do without ever lifting it.


KartSmart

This utility program is designed as an aid to help karters quickly and conveniently determine  gear ratios and weight percentages.  It is part of a larger program I designed for tracking and analyzing karting data.  I found most kart specific programs weren't suited to my needs, (ex. my tape measure is marked in sixteenths not tenths) so I wrote my own version.  I hope this free program will be useful.  Enjoy.

About Nacoma Software


Determine Gear Ratio
Set engine gear, axle gear, rear tire circumference, and engine RPM's.  Final gear ratio and speed in MPH will be displayed.

To determine appropriate gear requirements when changing rear tire circumference, simply  adjust new  tire circumference and the final gear required will be displayed.

Tire circumference is in inches.


View gear Chart
To view a gear ratio chart select   [image]   from the tool bar.  When the chart is displayed the closest ratio determined by the current engine gear and new gear ratio will be highlighted.

If an approximate gear ratio cannot be found using current engine gear, the next appropriate drive gear size will be used.


Tips
Hold down Shift key while adjusting tire circumference readings to increment/decrement value by one inch.

Hold down Shift key while adjusting engine RPM's to increment/decrement value by 1000.

Hold down ALT key while adjusting engine RPM's to increment/decrement value by 100.

Hold down shift key to increment/decrement wheel weights by 10.
