 |
|
| I'm moving to Tag Masters and will be racing with a 09 Leopard and was wondering which Top Kart to buy, speedy, flash or twister? I'm 5ft 7in and weigh 165. So far I have been told all 3 by 3 different people and I'm confused and need some input. |

As with most questions, it depends. The Twister is a 30mm chassis with some internal reinforcement and the Speedy is a 32mm chassis. Both are currently available new. The Flash is a 32mm/31mm chassis (we have 4 of them) and I don’t believe is any longer available new but is an excellent chassis.
My son is about your height but 20lbs lighter and we can make the Flash work very well on most tracks. The Twister seems to work best on shorter, tighter tracks and very well in the wet. The Speedy seems to be a bit better on the longer, faster tracks. While all can be made to work on most tracks, I would look at the tracks you most commonly run and make the selection based on that.
