Presentation: the precise setting of the front train
The rocket spacer is a key element for the set-up your kart. By moving these rings on either side of the rim on the rocket axis, you widen or shrink the front channel, which directly influences the "grip" and the accuracy of the cornering.

- Why use a 15 mm spacer?
-
Track adjustment: A thickness of 15 mm allows significant adjustments to release the front train or, on the contrary, give more train before in tight turns.
-
Accuracy: Unlike the accumulation of small rings, a single 15 mm spacer limits games and facilitates the change of wheels.
-
Customization: The different colors make it possible to quickly identify your settings or simply match the parts to your deco kit.
💡 Michel's trick
"In karting, the train before it's the secret of the chrono. The trick: Always note how many rings you have inside and outside the rim. My Pro Council: If the track becomes very screened and the kart jumps at the turn inlet, try removing a 15 mm spacer inside to shrink the front line. And do not forget to clean the rocket axis before dragging: if a spacer hangs because of the sand is a loss of time provided in pre-gate! "
❓ FAQ SEO (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: Do these spacers wear out?
A: Anodized aluminum is very resistant, but they can end up marking with repeated shocks of wheeled changes. It is advisable to replace them if they have burrs that could hinder the sliding.
Q: Are they sold to unity?
A: Yes, usually sold individually, which allows you to paniche thicknesses and colors according to your needs.
Q: Is the diameter of 25 mm universal?
A: This is the standard for the majority of adult karts (Kz, Rotax, X30). However, check your hardware, as some minimal / cadet karts use 17 mm or 20 mm rockets.
