shifter chassis

[Ryan Leger]

i have a 2008 maranello rs7 kart im running rotax right now but want to be able to set it up to do a few shifter races i know the parts i need but looking at my chassis i dont see anywhere were the shifter connects to the steering column if someone could please send me some pics of how there shifter runs on there chassis or if the is away to do it please tell me thanks for all your help

rs7 is a tag chassis not possible to make it a shifter chassis

[Ryan Leger]

pretty sure it has the bracket on the frame for a shifter on one of the down bars on the steering column

I converted my GP8 from Tag to shifter. It worked, but I would have saved money if I had sold it and bought the same kart with front brakes. Factor in your time and its definitely not worth it.

U will need to weld to the steering shaft for the shifter handle to fit. Its possible but people shy away from frames that are welded. I'm saying this because I looked into converting a tag to shifter and was quickly talked out of it due to cost and welding probably around 800 hundred for a kart shop to do. Good luck.

I alreasy have front brakes and im pretty sure that on the one bar infront of the gas tank has the holder for a shifter as it looms similiar to how i aeen a tony karts ahifter hooked up if i could figure out how to load lics on here i will post a pic and yoi vuys can tell me

Power Source Racing (no longer in business) use to make a cool cable ship system that enabled you to convert a non shifter to a shifter, no welding required. Many guys actually preferred the system and installed it on karts set up with traditional shift systems.
I actually have one of the set ups you can have for free. The only catch is I don't have directions on how to set it up. A good mechanic could probably install it for you.

The system worked really well, much easier than the traditional system because the clutch and shift mechanism are all controlled by the right hand. This leaves the left hand available to steer in cases where you need to use the clutch and steer at the same time.

Let me know if you want the system - just pay freight and it is yours.

[Ryan Leger]

and is your guys TAG what we consider here in canada as rotax ?

[Chuck Skowron]

Also, since you said you're currently running Rotax, you'll also going to need a radiator as well. I don't think the Rotax radiator will work in a shifter application, but I could be wrong.
