I've been keeping a watch on this post on letgo for a couple of weeks and the other day I messaged the seller about it. Originally he wanted $500 for a trailer, 200cc Honda motor, and a go-kart frame. I ask him if I could just buy the motor and frame, he wanted $350 for it. Then I asked about just buying the frame off of him and he said $150. He said it has tires but I doubt that they are any good/ if they're even on rims. ANYWAYS, I'm asking is this frame really worth $150? I would want to do a complete rebuild of it and I roughly estimated it would be around $500-$800 worth of parts and such put into this. I personally believe that this would be a really fun project to do and buy some parts every now and then so I don't use so much money up at once, but I believe its worth more around $100 or less. At this point, I'm just rambling on whats on my mind, but like I said earlier Is this frame really worth $150? A steal or too much?

Also here's a list of what I've would have to buy for this kart:

Engine - Predator 212 (+ engine mods)
Chain - 420
30 Series Torque Converter
Throttle Cable
Brakes
Sprocket
Shocks
Paint
Wheels/Tires
Seats/Seat Belts
Pedals
Steering Wheel

(Probably missing some things too but I'll create a better list if I do buy it)

Thanks for replying to this thread! :thumbsup:

EDIT: also the reason why I have parts such as steering wheel on my list when there's clearly a steering wheel already on it is that I don't know the conditions of the parts already on this thing and if it even has some parts on it.

I would agree and yes it’s worth it. Just make sure it’s not bent or broken somewhere.

Personally I don not like those karts. The frame is week and the suspension sucks. I would look for a 150cc buggy frame
