    Default Got a kart today...

    Seen some other guys post their karts before, figured I should too. Haven't had one since I was like 12. This one's definitely a bit faster, figuring out drifting with it

    Never can have too many toys, just too little time. That kart of yours looks like fun.
    I need a shifter kart really bad. I've got an old CBR 600cc motor sitting ready for one.

    I was surprised at how tall a guy could fit in this one. When I went to buy it the guy I got it from drove it around fine and had to be 6'2"-6'3".

    Doubt I'll ever track it, probably just terrorize the area around where I live. PM sent though.

    ??? at all the guys talking 4 stroke bike engines.

    A simple 125cc will do all you need.

    Gets my fat ass up to about 40mph the way I bought it according to my little GPS. Going to see how much I can improve on that.


    Edit for a video from earlier today. My girl even decided to try it in her sweats/pajamas in between complaining about being cold and not knowing how to zoom.

    I spent about another hour after this improving my skills, I'll have more videos I'm sure...and I'll make sure the quality is better.

    It's gonna be a lot harder in warm weather lol. Why do you want to drift it? It's impossible to hold drifts in those.

    The whole drift thing is a joke. It's just fun to go sliding around with it to be honest.

    Had a mishap just a while ago. Bracket for the brake caliper came loose and got twisted up snapping the brake line. Now I need to straighten out the bracket or make a new one and get some hose for cheap.

    Anyone interested in buying it to save me some trouble PM me, it's easily fixable for ~$20 I would guess. If not, I'll fix after the holidays. All the expensive stuff is still good (caliper, disc, etc.) Hose just snapped and bracket bent.



    I should be working on my car anyway

    Yamaha 100cc 2 strokes would go well with that kart.

    Hell yea... i just tied a string around the throttle tab on mine when i was like ten, and it pulled the throttle past where the govonor(sp?) would stop it and it would haul ass then. I want to get another one for my son.

    Just looked some more, bracket didn't come loose. The bolts that mounted the bracket to the frame snapped. Doesn't look too bad though. I'll pick up some scrap metal, cut out the bent section and weld up a new bracket with more strength to handle that brake. I'll have some bracket fabrication pics to add to this probably

    It was awesome. I hate when stuff breaks right after you get it.

    It will be even better when I redo the bracket. Already ordered a new braided stainless brake line off ebay
