Detailed compatibility

This grasshopper is the essential link element between the spoiler support for your chassis and the spoiler itself. It clips directly on the molding provided for this purpose on the upper lip of the spoiler.

It equips most of the modern competition karts using KG or mini bodywork RR.

• Examples of compatible models: KG MK14, Kg evo, Mini RR (all versions,) and many other recent models.

• Verification: Make sure your spoiler has the molding (flat edge) on which the grasshopper clings.

? The small story: the evolution of fast fasteners

With the arrival of modern rotomally plastic bodies, the old bolt fixing systems have become obsolete. Builders like KG have innovated by introducing "integrated molding" systems.

The upper lip of the spoiler is no longer pierced, but forms a flat and rigid profile. The steel grasshopper comes pinching this profile. This system offers two major benefits: it allows an ultra-fast assembly and dismantling of the spoiler without tool (ideal for quick change of tires or pre-grid repair,) and it offers some flexibility in case of shock, limiting the breakage of the spoiler or chassis support. This is the standard solution in modern competition karting.

? Michel's trick

"Michel, our body expert, recommends you: for optimal operation and an increased life of your locusts, regularly apply a thin layer of grease or lubricating spray on the pivot mechanism and the spring.A glittered grasshopper is difficult to maneuver on the track and can damage the plastic spoiler. If you feel that it does not hold more firmly (relaxed spring), replace it immediately. A defective tie in the race causes a loss of spoiler and a penalty to technical control! Remember to always have one in advance in your toolbox.

⚠️ Security Council: Before each session, check that your locusts are securely engaged and locked on the molding. A poorly fixed spoiler can come off and create a danger for you and other drivers.

? Product Information (GPSR) & Technical Summary

❓ FAQ: your frequent questions

Q: Is the grasshopper compatible with all KG spoilers ?A: NOT. It is exclusively compatible with KG (or mini spoilers RR) featuring a integrated molding on their upper lip. Older bodywork models, which need to be drilled to be bolted, are not compatible with this system. Check that your spoiler has the flat edge on which the grasshopper comes to pinch.

Q: What is the difference between the KG model and the model RR ? ?A: Visually and functionally, they are almost identical. The lever or base design may vary slightly by the original manufacturer (kg or RR), but they have the same dimensions and rise in the same way on standard chassis supports. The room is delivered according to arrival, but the function is guaranteed.

Q: How often should I change my locusts ?A: Grasshoppers are parts subject to strong vibrations and oxidation. It is recommended to check them at the beginning of each season. Change it if the spring is soft (it does not hold more firmly), if the metal is strongly corroded, or if the central rivet has too much game. A regular check of their tightening on the chassis holder is also essential.

Q: Is the bracket on the chassis supplied with the grasshopper ?A: NOT. The grasshopper is sold alone (individually), without the support that attaches to the chassis tube. The support is generally controlled according to the diameter of the tube of your chassis (ex: 30mm or 32mm) and is specific to the mark of your karting.
