ukspeedtraps Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 Standard cadkats are 6.5kg minus abit as you remove quite a bit of rubber when grooved Pre grooved cadkats are 7.2kg so they could bring it under 60kg, but then you have the issue of sand and wet seats etc which can easily put it over 60kg Worth noting, Pre-grooved Eurotrax on Cadkats are 8.2kg Just put the whole lot on a pallet and weighed it at TNT bug is 60.9 kg in total. So if I go to non pregrooved eurotrax I should be in weight. Cant understand the sand and wet seat issue, that is a strange rule if you have to allow for a wet seat and sand Quote
flydad Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 Cant understand the sand and wet seat issue, that is a strange rule if you have to allow for a wet seat and sand It just means if you get pulled for a spot weight check on a wet soft'ish beach you'll need to give it a quick de-sand and blow dry before they weigh it Quote
lewis1404 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 just weighed a eurotrax on cadkat rim with trikbitz grooves and came out at 7.1kg, so those would give you 3.3kg off of the weight which would be ideal Quote

I am getting some motorbike wheels made up as well so I need to keep them at 7kg each idealy Quote
Kitebuggybagman Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) My Gsx wheels are 5kg each on the back and 7kg on the front, different tyre can make a difference, aint got a clue what tyres they are Jon Edited December 21, 2009 by kitebuggybagman Quote
Trikbitz Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 The buggy weight is not due to drop in the near future. At this years meeting of the KBA it wasn't discussed. The courses in europe are changing the way we race 14 marks now mean a light buggy works better unlike on the big reach courses with 2 or 3 marks where the big men with heavy buggys do well. Quote
DOWNHILL44 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 Hi Lewis have you weighed your buggy ? just wondering as my T3 is wider than yours and i am starting to worry about the weight!!!.Dai Standard cadkats are 6.5kg minus abit as you remove quite a bit of rubber when grooved Pre grooved cadkats are 7.2kg so they could bring it under 60kg, but then you have the issue of sand and wet seats etc which can easily put it over 60kg Quote
Kitebuggybagman Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 the wider seat will add more than the metalwork Quote
DOWNHILL44 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 Thats what i am worried about when i have everything gonna put the 2 set ups on the pallet scales in work to see what weighs what, buggy and eurotrax and buggy and discs and prey its in.Dai the wider seat will add more than the metalwork Quote
Trikbitz Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 Dai I have extra bits on my buggy and 4kg and am 1/2 a kg under Quote
lewis1404 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Posted December 23, 2009 Hi Lewis have you weighed your buggy ? just wondering as my T3 is wider than yours and i am starting to worry about the weight!!!.Dai no i havent weighed it i was going on data from cadkat the wider siderails will really add very little weight, i guess the wide seat will add more. if trikbitz can add 4kg of ballast and still be under theres no way mines over Quote
