Hey there guys! I dont want this forum to make anybody mad due to me asking what kind of kart do i have. I was going to post in the identification thread, but it said to not post unless you know your kart. So please forgive me if I do irritate somebody. Now onto the fun, can somebody please identify my kart with me? I have searched probably around 30hrs of spread out time trying to look for this kart. I found one on craigslist that was the same exact thing but the guy didn't know what type it was, and unfortunately somebody bought it before me :/ But here is some pictures, and thanks for looking guys!

You were right not to post in that ID thread. That is just for known karts. No one is going to get mad at you at all. We try ID karts all the time. That being said, I have no clue what you have. Lol

I'm not sure what brand it is, but I have a few questions that might give us some good clues:

What country did you buy it from? (USA, somewhere in Europe, or ?)

Have you found any serial numbers stamped into the frame? (post those numbers and where they were located on the frame)

Were the nuts and bolts mostly all metric or SAE?

What diameter is the axle? (1-1/4", or 25-mm/30-mm/40-mm/50-mm?)

Also post some pics of the brake caliper, that might be a really good clue :thumbsup:

@anderkart Hey thanks! I have not thought of the bolts part, or the diameter of the axel. Furthermore, I have not found any stamping of serial numbers anywhere! Its dumbfounding me right now. I bought it in Chicago, and the brake caliper is a MCP caliper. (With color matched MCP logo) :D It came with a flathead, it currently has a Animal on it. Its a vintage so I know that. I honestly want to throw out there that I believe it is standard bolt. But i cannot be sure. Thanks for the help guys!

could you post a pic straight from above pleas?

those "look at my kart" frog perspective isn't helping I'm afraid

the only closed front-end loop I can think of ATM are Tony and Haase (both italian karts)
but that doesn't seem to be likely..

again without a better pic, I can't tell.

[EDIT]
frame IDS are always at a spot that is unlikely to be scratched or harmed in an accident..
like the INSIDE of a bearing retainer, under the seat (on the crossmember) inside the spindle bracket... etc.
So, on first sight.. HIDDEN ;)

So check again! (Oh and measure the tube diameter, that way we can estimate the age a little better)
