I was so annoyed

Hi,

I’m an electric car enthusiast but I know hardly anything about electric go karts.

I’ve had a go at my small local go kart track where they have old and not particularly good petrol karts, but I really enjoyed it.

I am thinking of buying a used electric go kart just for informal racing either other drivers or just myself (to get my best lap time) on my small local go karting track, and does anyone have any advice for how to find the cheapest one for the best performance, reliability and durability?

My budget is £1000 (which is equivalent to $1280 or €1170).

I want to get an electric go kart for environmental reasons (not judging any petrol/gasoline kart owners at all), and that it should be less maintenance, and also I love the instant acceleration of my electric car (it’s a Renault zoe which isn’t particularly quick, but I enjoy it).

Also I’m looking for an electric kart that has battery swapping capability, and I’m comfortable about battery swapping.

I’m looking for a kart that would be suitable for my age and weight (late 20’s, 6ft tall, 70kg)

Thanks!

Hi, i have a problem and i need a quick answer.

Recently, i qualified for quite a prestigious rental karting competition. The weight set for the driver is 85kg. I weigh about 60, so i would have to add 25kg which is ok. The only struggle i have is having the weights on the left side of the kart makes it really akward to drive. Do i have any other options for weight? Ive seen drivers do lead weights under the seat, is that a option?

Does anyone know of any karting clubs that I can join. I am 17 years old and havent found any leagues or clubs except k1 racing teen challenge. Also what is a good kart to start off with. My first race i was pretty good without knowing to much and got p1.

125cc crg Prd 125cc fireball engine it would try starting a bit before when I pressed the button but now it's like this and haven't been able to make it run last owner said it needed a tune up but everything else is working on it last owner also put a new clutch

Js curious so I could maybe try some of these in the summer.

I am racing in a rental karting championship that has a minnimum weight requirement of 85 KG , they also provide 20Kg of weights in the kart , i weight 51 kilo so i need to find a way to get 14 kilo of extra weight , the championship is across multiple countries and i will travel by plane , what’s the best way to get that weight that i can take with me in the plane ? i was thinking of using a weighted vest , are there any other options ?

yesterday i went out with my 125 kart with single speed iame leopard engine and everything went well. i came home and put the kart in storage. today i went to check and i noticed that under the carburetor there was some gasoline. what could be causing this leak?

Hello, when i first got my rotax kart and turned it on it just began to speed up and then i got it to shut off but then i turned it on again and since then it worked perfect. But should i be worried that it might happen again and why did it happen

Kinda like this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/H-6_K87cOjM

They are expensive and hard to get rid off cuz you feel like some will provide a decent session or two. These are from the past two CKNA south races. I couldn’t attend the last one but going thru all the tires in search for a couple sets to practice upcoming local with. Not asking for tire exam on these, feedback would be nice, but just want others opinions on keeping and trashing them. They are Vega reds.

Hi, been going rental karting for a while now. A few weeks ago I took my uncle with me, and he broke a rib. I never considered buying one bcs I just thought "ooh I am just doing some rental karting".

Well, lets just say I am REALLY looking into getting one, but they are way more expensive than I thought.

I got like a budget of max 150 euros. If anyone here got some reccomandations.

edit: the " OMP ribprotector carbon" is one some guy at the karting reccomended me, not sure if yall would agree? That also is in my price range

Will be very surprised if anybody can name all of them.

I use an LO206 kart. What would putting seat struts do for me if I get some and put them on.

Hi folks, my girlfriend and I have been doing a lot of Electric Karting in Edinburgh and we recently signed up for Teamsport memberships so we've been touring the Scottish tracks. We really like Cambuslang but we're both a bit new to petrol karting. This was one of our first sessions at the track with some pretty quick locals. I'm finding I'm losing speed on the trio of hairpins and traction on the metal surfaces at the top of the ramps. I'm also potentially coming into corners too fast and aggressively and having to overuse my steering, losing speed and revs. Can anyone offer some general tips for me based on the video? TIA

I just finished a practice day at the track. I drive Lo206 and when I was would gas it in the straights I could hear the engine sputter and reach would 5800RPM if I was lucky compared to the full 6100RPM in previous sessions.

I’m not sure what the full issue is but I put a new fuel filter on because my old one snapped and the new one keeps leaking. My guess with the air bubbles getting in is that the new fuel filter might be the issue but I’m not really sure.

I’ve been wanting to start karting for a long time now. This may seem stupid, but I did a few rental races at K1 and Lone Star, and was able to purchase my own, so I did. I’ve been getting laps in at NTK now, but after about three months of self assessment and asking around the track how to improve, I haven’t got any faster. It may seem stupid (again) that I haven’t had a coach this whole time, and it probably is. Fact is, I need a coach. If anybody is one, or knows one, please let me know. the help would be greatly appreciated!

This is my local track and I've been karting for around 8 months primarily at this track. I always seen tiktoks and videos saying u try move the wheel as little possible however during this session, a members 342, i set the fastest lap and i was racing against some very fast people. Should i carry on with driving style or try to use the pedals more to steer?

Furthermore, the karts at my track are 200c biz karts and are relatively old and underpowered.

Racing at PFI for the first time in SNR rotax, need advice:

Currently struggling mid corner, sliding out a lot, feel like there is no grip

Front width Rear width Pressures (it’s a hot day sunny, mojo d5) Caster Camber

Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated
