    Sounds like a brushless RC car, but...

    Nothing you said is wrong. I will just add this is a rising market with little competition. Marketing focus is on hobbyists (not racers) and when he "loans" the karts to popular 'tubers he gets free advertising. Dude must be making $$$

    I haven't sold my sidewinder buggy yet.... but....

    This time around i got 80min. I was a bit surprised about that. Usually I run them for about 40min, 50min tops. The little kart (not shown in the latest videos) with little wheels in boggy sand drains the battery the quickest. Plus I like to keep a little in the tank for the trip back to the...

    Have you ever loaned a gokart and they hurt themself ?

    I believe it was within the guidelines - no home , spouse , car , younger siblings or cliffs. Just a kerb to gently persuade him he needs more practice 🧘‍♂️

    Have you ever loaned a gokart and they hurt themself ?

    I've had this trailer a while but haven't had the chance to drag all three karts to a destination yet. I plan to change that this weekend...

    Have you ever loaned a gokart and they hurt themself ?

    Lol, he's not usually such a reckless person. I'm glad he didn't injure his hands/fingers because he plays high level classical guitar Pretty much everyone I've invited has never been on offroad karts before. 1-2 have been on on-road karts and a few more on hire karts. I haven't come...

    Have you ever loaned a gokart and they hurt themself ?

    I invited a friend i haven't seen much in the past 15 years. I got to know him as our wives are good friends. Anyway I invited him to come karting with me and he brought one of his adult children with him as I have three karts now. This was the first time all three were used at once. I...

    I thought it was a pretty crappy location to be driving the kart. Not too mention it was on open roads. The kart may or may not be good but the video wasn't

    2nd go kart conversion

    I haven't got a pic of the stub that broke off but I think it's about 6"-7" long. Can take a pic when I get home in a few hours if you want?

    2nd go kart conversion

    I've ordered a new axle from the other side of Oz. I think the axle is probably one of the last things I would expect to break 🤯

    2nd go kart conversion

    I'm not having a good run lately. As mentioned on this other thread I had to fix up the brakes on this kart. The parts arrived, I worked on it yesterday then took it for a drive this morning. Doh! I'm getting a lot of exercise pushing all these karts around...

    I haven't sold my sidewinder buggy yet.... but....

    2 of my 3 karts are out of action now. Last time I went out with my brother. The brake pads on his kart were wearing thin (my fault for not keeping an eye on it). Ended up rubbing metal on metal and he was pushing the brake pedal so hard it blew the seal in the brake cylinder. Parts on...

    I haven't sold my sidewinder buggy yet.... but....

    I took this kart up into the hills. It was good, really good... up until it stopped 😔 Just before the ride I changed out the steering rack for one a little more responsive. Old one was 1.5 or 1.75 turns full travel (i can't remember which). The new rack is a direct fit and only 1 turn...

    Go-bowen, mega moto, mototec, ect. 79cc/ 98cc/ 48v kart parts?

    I agree with Hellion. See if you can strengthen the one you have. As you mentioned, you're kids are getting bigger so will be harder on the karts - a new one of the same will likely bend like it's predecessors.
