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.

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

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.

Or go and find an old formula student car
