The karting industry is by no means short on options regarding chassis selection, and our goal with this article series is to help narrow down your choices while educating the community on what exactly is offered by each manufacturer and its United States or Canadian importer/distributor.

The Cadet LS is a two-curved 28mm diameter tube frame, a feature which gives extra freedom and sliding capacity to the chassis. The PCR IDR brake system utilizes the full size PCR master cylinder while the rear caliper is the same as the front system on shifter chassis. The system uses a lighter disc than the full size chassis models. The wheelbase is adjustable for different size tracks. The chassis gained success at the WKA Manufacturer’s Cup Series events in 2010.

Same design as the MXK8, the shifter version can be used for medium to hard compound tires being used in the United States.

The same chassis has been used by PCR factor pilot Manuel Renacdie to several European victories in 2010. |
