    Torque converter /general karting question

    Another few questions. I tried a search for fengin got nothing. Has anyone used the fengin torque converter (seems imitation of comet ones)?

    Torque converter /general karting question

    Had another question, and decided all the info is in here so why make a new post? Anyway, I have decided to make my own frame based on the 2-seat design on the front page. Since I will be using that 7.8hp engine I listed above, I want to get all I can out of that engine. The question is...

    Torque converter /general karting question

    Thanks for the quick response! Wasn't expecting anything until at least after class! *You say it looks heavy (not trying to question at all here!) but what makes it seem that way so that I can know in the future what to look at?

    Torque converter /general karting question

    Hey guys, just joined. I've read up a few posts and am trying to figure a few things out. I am looking into purchasing a roller from craigslist and it says it comes with a TC. Without looking at it yet, I'm not sure which model but I'm assuming its a comet 20 or 30. The motor I plan to use is...
