AiM Sports KA 50 psi Boost/Vacuum (Absolute Pressure) Sensor
This "absolute pressure" sensor is ideal for measuring vapor (gas) pressures, such as intake boost and crankcase pressure. The 50 psi pressure range is based on perfect vacuum (i.e., from 15 psi below atmospheric pressure to 35 psi above). This sensor is marked "0-50psiA" to differentiate it from the standard 0-50 psi sensor (marked "0-50psiSG"), which does not measure vacuum.
KA pressure sensors are more robust than VDO-style pressure sensors, but they should still be isolated from engine heat and vibration whenever possible. Features 1/8" NPT male threads.Kart

AiM Sports Karting Accelerator/Brake Pedal Position Sensor (Magnetic)

AiM Magnetic Pedal Position Sensor For MyChron Dashes
Magnetic accelerator- and brake-pedal position sensors are crucial devices for kart drivers and teams. They provide precise indications of timing and intensity of braking and acceleration. This helps the team to understand whether the driver has accelerated and braked at the right moments, with the correct pedal strength, across multiple laps and overlaid with other critical data.
These are very important factors in evaluating driver behavior and improving his/her performance. Data can be logged by your MyChron dash connected to a MyChron Expansion, then analyzed on your PC post-race.
Made from anodized aluminum, these sensors are very robust and water-resistant.
Calibration is immediate: once installed, connect the sensors to your MyChron Expansion and set pedal positions (high position and zero position). After that, the sensor will start transmitting accelerator or brake pedal data.

A Note on Cleaning Anti-Fog/Anti-Scratch Shield
Anti-scratch/anti-fog shields require special care in order to preserve the coatings on the inside of the shield. Only use Acrysol Shield Cleaner to clean your shield, inside and out. Do not use glass cleaner containing ammonia (like Windex) as this can harm both the anti-scratch coating on the outside of the visor and the anti-fog coating on the inside. In a pinch, you're better off using water and a clean microfiber cloth to gently clean your Stilo shield.
