Well do you want a TAG, a shifter, 2-Stroke RTR, or a 4-Stroke RTR... As far as 2-Strokes go the KT100 is the best imo. As far as 4-Strokes the Briggs and Stratton World Formula(Thats what I run, and i love it) is the top dog. But unless you want to spend upwards of 10K for the BEST setup check CL, and add a profile location.

As Dirty here and I know, if you're new to karting, in any sense... be careful what you wish for. Most folks can't handle 45 in one. We've seen it. Haven't we Dirty?
If you have done this, then disregard what I said above.
Reason I said it: I've seen people go all out, spend 8 grand or more only to come back after ONE lap having soiled themselves and their hands shaking. We never saw them again. And keep in mind, once you go all out, all that nifty stuff you bought... is not worth HALF what you paid for it.
There is no "best kart in the world." If the one you're driving wins, that's the best kart. Tonykarts are great, always have been. There's whole list of "good ones" out there but honestly... it's the driver most of the time. I took a 300 dollar spare and took podium with it.
I'm with Dirty too.
2 strokes:
KT100's are great fun and fast, but rebuilds (2 per season), clutches get expensive.
Rotax and shifter... even more.
4 CYcle, Yep, Briggs, period.
If you're gonna race, be prepared for the cost. 4 Cycle classes, minimim of 2 sets of tires per season. 2 stroke... well, the faster ya go, the faster the tires wear. My daughter races Rotax and Briggs, so.... One set of tires lasts 2 race weekends for the Rotax, Briggs... we're onto our 2nd set now and it's half way through our season. Each set, (4 tires), 210.00 and 260.00 (rotax)
Fly? My friend... the 2 cycle classes gets you to the take-off speed of a small airplane... and you literally can "Fly" if you mess up.
That's why you sign the "I know I can DIE HERE" waiver.
Be safe.

Be safe. First kart crash I saw two drivers went airborne going roughly 85mph. My first crash I was only going 40 and spun out. And that was an adventure in its self. First time out didn't have the cohonas to go over 45 and I still needed a bottle of pepto. Take it easy and work your way into it.
Before you even think about that idea i would go somewhere like this place and rent one first. I have done this for a few years and if your just starting be prepared and read what these guys are saying it might just save your life.................

Just one thing:
Any high quality race kart is as good as any other high quality race kart;
it's a matter of "taste" and personal preference what suits you best,
might be a Tony, might be a Birel, might be a Haase or something I haven't even heard of
Engines.. iame since an italian race kart needs an italian engine

Hahaha ha thank you very m7ch your close I'm 14 and don't plan to race until 16 or 17.
As far as cost I think I would be prepared to pay 15 grand and I know you easily can.
On the tires I'd say twice a season is under kill I've heard every other race if not every.
I know it's dangerous but I want to live. You know that filling right before you jump right before you sky dive the first time that's what I want I want my heart to drop I want shake I want to feel that way when you can't think about anything but what comes next.
Thank you all and more advice is welcome as far as what do yall recommend running 2 stroke or 4 stroke.

Oh and I drive a dirt kart.
It's a mid sized cheap 9ne but I just striped the carb today and it runs better didn't take the float and all out but took it out. Yes I'm very boared.

A 14yr old has 15 grand to spend?? How does that happen?
What? What did you take out the carb? If you took the float out, the engine will not work. You are contradicting yourself in this post. "You didn't take it out but took it all out???"

While like the others, I think your just trolling, however...
You race dirt...
You want speed...
Need sense of danger & adrenalin...
You have money to spend...
Look into Outlaw Sprint Kart's 500cc open class. Single cylinder, single carb two cycle or OEM fuel injected/carb four-cycle engines. Speeds in the 85-100 range depending on track. Minimum age of 15. www.wingedsprintkarts.com
