Js curious so I could maybe try some of these in the summer.

I am racing in a rental karting championship that has a minnimum weight requirement of 85 KG , they also provide 20Kg of weights in the kart , i weight 51 kilo so i need to find a way to get 14 kilo of extra weight , the championship is across multiple countries and i will travel by plane , what’s the best way to get that weight that i can take with me in the plane ? i was thinking of using a weighted vest , are there any other options ?

yesterday i went out with my 125 kart with single speed iame leopard engine and everything went well. i came home and put the kart in storage. today i went to check and i noticed that under the carburetor there was some gasoline. what could be causing this leak?

Hello, when i first got my rotax kart and turned it on it just began to speed up and then i got it to shut off but then i turned it on again and since then it worked perfect. But should i be worried that it might happen again and why did it happen

Kinda like this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/H-6_K87cOjM

They are expensive and hard to get rid off cuz you feel like some will provide a decent session or two. These are from the past two CKNA south races. I couldn’t attend the last one but going thru all the tires in search for a couple sets to practice upcoming local with. Not asking for tire exam on these, feedback would be nice, but just want others opinions on keeping and trashing them. They are Vega reds.

Hi, been going rental karting for a while now. A few weeks ago I took my uncle with me, and he broke a rib. I never considered buying one bcs I just thought "ooh I am just doing some rental karting".

Well, lets just say I am REALLY looking into getting one, but they are way more expensive than I thought.

I got like a budget of max 150 euros. If anyone here got some reccomandations.

edit: the " OMP ribprotector carbon" is one some guy at the karting reccomended me, not sure if yall would agree? That also is in my price range

Will be very surprised if anybody can name all of them.

I just finished a practice day at the track. I drive Lo206 and when I was would gas it in the straights I could hear the engine sputter and reach would 5800RPM if I was lucky compared to the full 6100RPM in previous sessions.

I’m not sure what the full issue is but I put a new fuel filter on because my old one snapped and the new one keeps leaking. My guess with the air bubbles getting in is that the new fuel filter might be the issue but I’m not really sure.

I’ve been wanting to start karting for a long time now. This may seem stupid, but I did a few rental races at K1 and Lone Star, and was able to purchase my own, so I did. I’ve been getting laps in at NTK now, but after about three months of self assessment and asking around the track how to improve, I haven’t got any faster. It may seem stupid (again) that I haven’t had a coach this whole time, and it probably is. Fact is, I need a coach. If anybody is one, or knows one, please let me know. the help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi folks, my girlfriend and I have been doing a lot of Electric Karting in Edinburgh and we recently signed up for Teamsport memberships so we've been touring the Scottish tracks. We really like Cambuslang but we're both a bit new to petrol karting. This was one of our first sessions at the track with some pretty quick locals. I'm finding I'm losing speed on the trio of hairpins and traction on the metal surfaces at the top of the ramps. I'm also potentially coming into corners too fast and aggressively and having to overuse my steering, losing speed and revs. Can anyone offer some general tips for me based on the video? TIA

I use an LO206 kart. What would putting seat struts do for me if I get some and put them on.

This is my local track and I've been karting for around 8 months primarily at this track. I always seen tiktoks and videos saying u try move the wheel as little possible however during this session, a members 342, i set the fastest lap and i was racing against some very fast people. Should i carry on with driving style or try to use the pedals more to steer?

Furthermore, the karts at my track are 200c biz karts and are relatively old and underpowered.

Racing at PFI for the first time in SNR rotax, need advice:

Currently struggling mid corner, sliding out a lot, feel like there is no grip

Front width Rear width Pressures (it’s a hot day sunny, mojo d5) Caster Camber

Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated

I currently just race in the k1 teen leagues but im looking for karting clubs that are in the LA area. If anyone knows anything let me know.

Hello,

I am wanting to raise my steering wheel further out of my lap. I have the steering block maxed out and the hub slid out to the last hole but still want it higher up. I saw this photo of British guy that put a waxing on the field in Texas and I really like how his is set up. I am hoping someone has had experience with which aftermarket components to purchase.

Thank you,

Continuing my sentence)》before and it was kinda twisted and bent and my sprocket got super worn down in like 4 rides u see how small the teeth got is this my issue reddit? Sprocket placement and chain or what I'm about to sell this kart for 1200-1700 if I can't figure this out and is that a reasonable price

Hi guys,

I know this is going to be a controversial topic. But I would really like to know how the community feels about it.

I've been racing karts for quite some time and I really love the adrenaline pump it gives me every time, is so fun to push myself to go faster.

On the other side, I am a bit worried about the pollution coming from the kart engines (and somewhat the brakes). We see that for cars on the road there's a huge amount of regulation to limit the PM, the CO2, the NOx particles... You get the idea.

For karts we don't have anything like that yet. Since the amount of karts are relatively small compared to the amount of cars in the road. And this lack of regulation is both good and bad.

When you go to any track, you can smell from afar all the fumes coming out of the karts. Can you imagine what effects it can have on the body being exposed to that every day if you work at a kart track? Must be like smoking a pack a day at least... And you guys know what happens after a few years...

For car engines, we have seen a lot of improvements that limit the pollution. But why isn't that the case for karting? Do any of you share my sentiment? I love karting, so closing tracks is not an option for me, but I would really like to have a middle ground.
