came with a bunch of other gears(expensive, but they were thrown in) Supposedly itll hit 60 mph as is and 100 with the smaller gear in.... i dont know if this is true but i dont think i want to go over 60 mph 1/2 inch from the ground.

------- nice man! Yeah it can hit 100 very very fast. Proper gearing of course.

so i know someone selling a 600cc 04 yamaha engine for $900. Complete swap...

Looks a bit rough but still cool, how much did it cost you?

Re: bought a racing kart today(56k grab a snickers)
 

120$ haha i win.

my mom and pop work for a local auction yard. mom knew i would like it, so she moved it to the very end of the open lot bidding. Meaning all but like 4 people had left before it went through. The guy selling it was a complete prick, he comes it with stuff all the time that im almost sure is stolen, and just says "run her through, doesn't need a reserve", so my parents had no problem jipping him on the bidding order

i hate you. looks fun as hell

thats about how much old shifter carts go for. I know a guy who races them who just about gives his frames away after a season. I guess the carts soften up and you need to keep buying fresh chassis to stay competitive.

anybody got an idea on those brake lines?

Re: bought a racing kart today(56k grab a snickers)
 

i'd check the plumbing sections at home depot/lowes, etc.

nylon tubing look for it online best bet to get it cheap

I raced a 100cc kart for years. It's a blast. On those brake lines. Measure them and talk to Earl's in Indy to order AN -3 brake lines. Don't go cheap on that plus tech may not like it. You got a great deal on a old cart, spend some money and make it fast!!!

60mph is nothing after you drive a shifter kart. I was shaking 1 hour after a 20 lap race..
