What else can i say
?
Looks flashy but it is totally un usable power. Most 250cc kart have far to much power. Lap time have proven that power doesnt always mean quick lap times.
That has to be bordering on undrivable!
Cheap donor motor for a kit though

It says it isnt a toy... Ok... so what is it then? It isnt a serious racing kart, and i doubt its any use on ANY tracks
was considering one of those as my next project...
would be bloody awesome though!!
the exhaust cracks me up
should have extended the chassis
i seen one running at santapod and far doo's it was awesome plus the gixxerkart is pretty dam cool too
they have been around a while ,,this is the first one i saw,,the youtube video has taken off the music but allso lost the sound so found this one... i want one but have no where to use it !
I just don't get it...
Yeah it will be "awesome" but will have no finesse whatsoever and will not be pleasant to drive in the slightest. It'll be fun in the
same way as it is fun to fight Mike Tyson!
Now build something like this into a single-seater version of a Locost and get the weight down to around 250Kg's and it would still be
"awesome" but would also be useable and bloody good fun!!
its pretty cheap for a laugh though isnt it. Who cares if its not a fine race machine? You'd be grinning like a loony wheelspining at 130.

I quite agree. But then you might as well just go out and get a Jedi/OMS for 6-7k and not only save yourself a heap of time but also have a competetive car too.
that looks absolutely ruddy brilliant!
how much will an older one of those set you back?
