    Formula 1 2026 Season

    Don't know if you know who Pato O'ward is. He has come in 2nd at the Indy 500 twice and today won his 1st event of the year. A very charismatic and popular driver on the Indy car circuit. Hard not to be in awe of the formula 1 machines, but the lack of passing and wheel to wheel racing makes for...

    Minibike lost 10mph

    Post the picture with the belt removed. That part is important.

    Minibike lost 10mph

    Get the rotary or comet belt. Also please post a picture from above of your driver and the driven ( also from the rear ) so we can see the alignment of the two clutches. On the 30 series, alignment has to be almost perfect. Misaligned clutches causes premature belt wear on an awful lot of karts...

    Horrible fright strikes again!

    Except when you want a good tap that performs as it should. Honestly though I am a bit biased. Not too long ago I was gifted a " Snap On " tap and die set, SAE & Metric. I doubt that I could have afforded it new. The few I have used cut perfectly.

    100 degree (Fahrenheit 🇺🇸🦅) weather problems.

    When I say no noticeable difference, I mean that running the kart in 70 degree weather and running the kart in 100+ degree weather, there is no noticeable difference in performance using the " seat of your pants " measuring device. Feels and runs the same. I ( like many others ) don't think warm...

    100 degree (Fahrenheit 🇺🇸🦅) weather problems.

    Too thin of air ( low oxygen content ) occurs at higher altitude. Not affected much by temperature.

    100 degree (Fahrenheit 🇺🇸🦅) weather problems.

    I have never seen a NOTICEABLE difference in power output, running in 70 degrees and up to about 106 degrees. Above that, we stay home.

    ARC rod copy for GX340/390/predator 420

    What is the price difference between that and the ( real deal ) ARC rod? You could always buy some ARP bolts ( like the ones you get from ARC.) That is where a lot of the strength comes from. Regardless, it's got to be a lot better than the stock setup.

    Project Stoopid!

    650 Ninja, 8 year old child. What could possibly go wrong? You know that I'm a big fan of starting them young, but it would be the perfect kart for you.

    Project Stoopid!

    Looks like some serious stopping power.

    Can you rent a tire mounting tool?

    Big name brand tire shops are the worst. Most don't want to, and many don't have employees that know how to anyway. A small independent shop ( sometimes on the wrong side of the tracks ) is much more likely to help you. I'm lucky enough to have such a shop a couple of miles away from where I...

    Manco Go Kart Model Numbers & Names

    I get dizzy just looking at the list. My Manco Intruder looks EXACTLY like the picture. Except mine's now blue. Big kart. 68" wheelbase. Easy to get in and out of. Especially for someone my age.

    Newbie to the World

    Markets can be different depending on where you live. In California ( where I live ) that kart all fixed up and shiny with a good running engine would sell in the $500 to $700 range. But the value it can have for you and your daughter can exceed that many times over. Don't worry too much about...

    Fill up all your fuel jugs....

    .88 A gallon. I think you're asleep and still dreaming. Would be nice though.

    Fill up all your fuel jugs....

    Have used Sta-Bil in all my karts, and back when I owned classic cars. Anything that doesn't get used on a regular basis. Good for up to a year at least. Maybe longer. No issues with any engine ever. I'm a believer.

    Baja 200 Upgrades

    Don't feel bad about returning the juggernaut. I have had one for several years. We have actually damaged it a couple of times. Heavy two seat kart, very hot 212, running in soft sand. They are a PITA to work on. I've even installed Go Power Sports stage one and two upgrade kit for it. Light...

    Some Advice Please About Exhaust Choice

    If you want to build your 420, they have a great complete hop up kit for that as well. I just finished a 420 with it installed. Put a grin on this old mans face like hasn't been seen in a long time. Very fast. Couldn't be happier.

    Some Advice Please About Exhaust Choice

    Go to the OMB Warehouse site and look at exhaust parts for the predator 212. They have several header configurations, and then get a RLV brand muffler ( sold at the same site ). I have 5 or 6 of them that I run on my karts. They work great. No back pressure, and they take away that awful ear...

    Baja 200 Upgrades

    Never owned an engine that wasn't internally threaded on the crank. But for the situation presented in the video, it looks like a complete winning idea.

    Where's Pancho?

    My younger son and I owned it for 21years. Starting when he was in the 9th grade. 3 different engines ( same block ). Final version 10.78 at 126 on the motor, and 10.25 at 132 with a 150 up shot of nitrous. We were lucky enough to have an active drag strip Carlsbad race way ( closed 18 years ago...
