Product Information
Full details
This AiM Motorsport Pedal Position Bracket Kit is for OTK kart racers looking to accurately measure brake and throttle pedal positions using AiM's non-contact sensors. Its key benefit is providing robust, motorsport-ready brackets for reliable data acquisition. A potential caveat is that it's specifically designed for OTK chassis and AiM sensors, requiring these components for full functionality. The kit includes all necessary brackets and a fitting kit to convert existing pedal setups for use with MyChron4 and MyChron5 devices.

FAQs
Is this kit compatible with non-OTK karts?
No, this bracket kit is specifically designed for OTK kart chassis and may not fit other brands.
Do I need to purchase the sensors separately?
Yes, this kit includes the mounting brackets and magnet holders, but you will need to purchase the AiM Motorsports non-contact brake and throttle position sensors separately if you do not already own them.
What MyChron devices can I use this kit with?
The kit is compatible with AiM MyChron4 and MyChron5 devices.
What material are the brackets made from?
The brackets are constructed from high-quality, strong materials designed to withstand the rigors of motorsport.
How difficult is the installation process?
The installation is designed to be straightforward with the included fitting kit. Basic mechanical skills and tools are typically required.
Can I use these brackets with analog sensors?
No, these brackets are specifically designed to work with AiM's non-contact sensors.
What is included in the fitting kit?
The fitting kit typically includes all the necessary nuts, bolts, and washers required to mount the brackets and holders to your OTK kart.
Troubleshooting
No data from pedal sensors
Ensure sensors are properly connected to the MyChron device. Verify that the magnets are correctly aligned with the sensors and that there is no excessive gap. Check sensor and magnet cleanliness.
Inconsistent or erratic pedal readings
Confirm that the brackets are securely fastened and not flexing. Re-calibrate the sensors through the MyChron device settings. Check for any obstructions that might interfere with magnet-sensor alignment.
Brake sensor reading zero when brake is applied
Double-check the mounting of the brake position sensor bracket and magnet holder. Ensure the magnet is positioned correctly to trigger the sensor when the brake pedal is pressed.
Throttle sensor reading high when pedal is at rest
Verify the throttle position sensor bracket and magnet holder are correctly installed. The magnet should be positioned so that the sensor reads zero (or minimum) when the throttle is closed.
