Who has not dreamed, for example, of being able to work on their engine with components tested in the main races around the world and handled by the most experienced and competent professionals in the field? The tuned piston of the Performance Line by Galiffa Kart allows you to do it, just as a simple safety ring can allow you to take to the track with greater piece of mind and the guarantee that if an axle grub screw should fail, the vehicle performance will not be affected and the day spent enjoying racing in the kart will not be ruined. These and other interesting accessories are the focus of this “must have”, that are all to be discovered and used.

AXLE SAFETY RING

Can a small and remarkably simple element like a “grub screw” reduce track performance to the point of having to withdraw from a race? Yes. One of the most important examples is that of the grub screws that fasten to the axle, which with the repeated stresses experienced while on the track, they can loosen allowing the axle to move from its locked position. To eliminate the problem, a safety ring can be used. Fastened next to the bearing it prevents the axle from moving. The ring is made of two parts, is easy to install and it does require the disassembly of the axle.
