Directional column plate R 2.0 R 35-40 CRG

Summary: the brain of the front train

The plaque R 35-40 Refers to the center distance ratings for the mounting holes for steering ball joints. It is this component that transforms your steering wheel movement into a steering angle.

• R 35-40 code: These figures correspond to the positions of the holes (in millimeters) relative to the central axis of the column. They determine the turning speed and the necessary force behind the wheel.

• ACKERMANN effect: By proposing several anchor points, this plate adjusts the angle difference between the inner and outdoor wheel.

  • Interior holes: Directorate more direct and more "physical".

  • Exterior holes: Softer and more progressive direction.

-Tuto mounting: adjustment and symmetry

1. VERIFICATION OF PLAINITY: After a shock, even light, this plate can be sealed. If it is no longer perfectly perpendicular to the axis of the column, your kart will have asymmetrical behavior.

2. Choice of holes: Be sure to always fix your two rods on the holes of the same diameter / position. A single hole error will make the KART unconductible.

3. Installation of ball joints: Use high strength screws (often 12.9) and make sure the ball joints do not touch the plate during maximum turning.

4. Spacers: Use specific conical spacers to release the ball movement and prevent it from bridging the direction at the end of the race.

💡 Michel's trick

"It's the room that everyone forgets to check after a snap. The trick: If you can not do your parallelism properly or if your rods seem 'too long' on one side, it is because the plate has folded. My Pro Council: In rain condition, the holes are often used that give the most ackermann (most eccentrated holes) to help the front train to 'bite' in the turn despite the lack of grip. "

❓ FAQ SEO (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Can we only change the plate?

A: On the majority of columns CRG R 2.0, the plate is welded. If folded, the entire column must be replaced to ensure safety and accuracy.

Q: What is the difference with the plate R 25-31?

A: The R 25-31 is reserved for the mini chassis. Its anchor points are closer to adapt to the short wheelbase and the strength of young drivers.

Q: Why are there friction marks on my plate?

A: It is often a sign that your steering ball joints are mounted without the clearance spacers or your steering stops are badly settled.
