Oversteering at corner entry or there is too much front end bite.

Reduce jacking effect
• Reduce scrub radius (remove one wheel spacer from both front spindles)
  
• Increase rear track width
  
• Reduce castor
  
• Reduce Ackermann

Increase rear grip
• Move weight towards rear of the kart
  
• Remove 3rd Axle bearing (in low grip conditions)
  
• Raise rear tyre pressure by 1 or more PSI or drop front tyre pressure by 1 or more PSI

Reduce front grip
• Lower the front of the chassis
  
• Reduce toe-out (1 mm is normal toe-out)
  
• Remove or loosen front torsion bar and loosen crash bar

Driving
• Reduce trail braking

Understeering at corner entry (pushing out)

Increase jacking effect
• Increase scrub radius (add one or more wheel spacers on both front spindles)
  
• Increase castor
  
• Increase Ackermann
  
• Decrease rear track width

Increase front grip
• Shift weight forward (seat, ballast)
  
• Raise the front end of the kart
  
• Add or tighten front torsion bar and crash bar
  
• Use shorter rear hubs or softer axle
  
• Increase toe-out (1-2mm is normal toe-out)
  
• Raise front tyre pressure by 1 or more PSI or drop rear tyre pressure by 1 or more PSI

Driving
• Slower initial steering turn in

Oversteering out of the corner

Increase rear grip
• Raise and or move seat back
  
• Increase (or decrease) width of rear track
  
• Put longer (or shorter) rear wheel hubs on the axle
  
• Add rear torsion bar or turn torsion bar to vertical position
  
• Raise (or lower) any ballast on the rear of the seat
  
• Raise the rear ride height
  
• Change to a stiffer (or softer) rear axle
  
• Add or tighten 4th rail
  
• Add seat stays
  
• User a stiffer seat
  
• Raise rear tyre pressure by 1 or more PSI or drop front tyre pressure by 1 or more PSI

Reduce jacking effect
• Increase width of rear track
  
• Decrease castor

Reduce front grip
• Remove or loosen front torsion bar
  Reduce front track width

Driving
• Turn later into corner

Understeering out of the corner

Increase front grip
• Move the seat forward
  
• Add or tighten front torsion bar and crash bar
  
• Use a softer seat

Driving
• Reduce acceleration out of corner

Understeering all the way through the turn

• Increase rear track width
  
• Turn rear torsion bar to horizontal position or remove it
  
• Loosen 4th rail
  
• Increase front tyre pressure by 1 or more PSI

Bounce in the rear (excessive)

• Increase rear track width
  
• Lower chassis height
  
• lower seat height

Too little grip in all four tyres or there is not enough side bite

• Decrease front and rear track width
  
• Add or tighten 4th rail (normally should be tight)
  
• Loosen the side pods
  
• Raise the air pressure in all 4 tires by 1 or more psi
  
• Raise (increase outside tyre bite) or lower (if outside tyres not able to cope with friction) centre of
  gravity

Driving
• Reduce steering movements

Too much grip in all four tyres (two wheeling around corners)

• Increase width of front and rear track
  
• Remove or loosen 4th rail
  
• Lower the rear of the chassis (normally in highest position)
  
• Tighten the side pods
  
• Lower the air pressure in all 4 tires by 1 or more psi
  
• Lower (decrease outside tyre bite) or increase (outside tyres not able to handle increased friction) centre
  of gravity

I find that my controller is really sensitive. I might need to invest in a wheel.
