admin — Thu, 16 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Do you regularly participate in the exciting sport of sand racing? If so, then you have probably found that keeping your engine clean and clear of debris and sand can seem like a near impossible task. However, in order to prolong the life of your sand dune’s engine, it is important that you take the necessary precautions to clean out sand from the engine itself. Failure to do so could result in expensive engine repairs or complete engine failure, which is the last thing that you want to happen during a race.

Fortunately, there are some simple ways to go about keeping sand out of the moving parts of your vehicle’s engine. For starters, ensure that you have a clean filter in place at all times, as this is the main way to capture sand before it enters the engine. Furthermore, you should take the time after each race to run an engine cleaner through your vehicle’s system. This takes just a few minutes and will clean out the entire engine system, giving you the peace of mind in knowing that it is clear of sand and ready to go by the time your next sand race rolls around as well.

Whether you are new to the extreme sport of BMX or have been doing it for awhile, you are probably aware that speed is a vital component in this sport. After all, high speeds are often necessary to reach the altitude and momentum necessary to perform a number of impressive tricks. Because of this, many BMX riders constantly find themselves looking for the best ways to go about increasing their speeds. Fortunately, there are all kinds of ways to make a BMX bike faster.

Most of these methods of increasing BMX speed actually involve reducing the friction between the bike’s parts and components. For starters, having the right tires on the bike is vital, as this will reduce the friction between the tires and the road and lead to faster speeds without the rider having to do more work in the process. Furthermore, riders may want to consider replacing existing handlebars on the BMX bike with aero bars, which are known for making the bike itself more aerodynamic and, thus, faster.

Of course, staying in shape and ensuring that one’s legs are well trained to pedal as fast as needed is a great way to increase your speeds while biking as well.

There is nothing like getting behind the wheel of a powerful go-kart. Here are some ways that you can tweak your go-cart for more horsepower.

Adjust the Governor
A go-kartâ€™s engine uses a governor to make sure that the kart never exceeds a certain speed. This is mainly done for the safety of the novice drivers. However, this does nothing for the veteran go-kart rider that craves more performance. Simply adjust the governor or remove it altogether to enjoy the increased power.

Engine Swap
Nothing can change the performance dynamic of your go-cart like a bigger engine. The larger size of the engine should result in more horsepower and torque. The difference between a 12 horsepower engine and a 5 horsepower engine is like night and day. The driver will feel the dramatic difference the instant that the throttle is pressed.

Performance Carburetor
A performance carburetor will make your go-kart seem as if it is on steroids. The larger cylinders inside of the carburetor allow gas to be quickly injected into the engine. The jets within your kartâ€™s carburetor can also be swapped out for faster ones.

High Performance Air Filter
This will increase the rate of airflow into the engine.
