      From the bearing hangers and the front right spindle area, looks to be a CRG. I’d guess that it’s a late 90’s Kalifornia chassis, though I’m not an expert on them. Looks in great shape. Engine appears like the Maxter F1K engine, though I’m not an expert on that either — it just doesn’t look like a HPV/KPV, and since it has a clutch it’s not a ICA engine… The bodywork and nerfs are older, and assuming everything works, the chassis as a roller is worth around $500 imo. The engine, perhaps another $300 if it’s reasonably fresh and functional.

      Great chassis to learn karting on, but kinda a red-headed stepchild without a place to run (no legal classes for it.) If I’m wrong and it’s a KPV, then there’s plenty of places for it to run, and it’s a great starter kart.

      Perhaps someone with more CRG knowledge will chime in. Hope that helps…

        Hm I thought it looked like an early 90s HPV/KPV engine but then again like you, I wasn’t sure. Thanks for the info and help though!

      Reggie- pretty sure that’s a k-71 Komet piston port motor. That was the forunner of the hpv, probably a horstman/ LT oil clutch.  Check the oil in the clutch before you start it.  Fairly fast stuff. Todays hpv has a different crank half and clutch. Appears to have been well taken care of, no class today for it in sprinters that I know of.  Throw an LO206 on it and go race it.

      Thanks for the tip Brian!

      Does anyone know more information about this chassis? If I could still get parts for it…

      Engine looks like a typical KPV/HPV with a 4-pipe to me. It’s hard to see the clutch but it looks like the KPV/HPV clutch cover. If that’s the case, it’ll be a dry clutch, not a wet clutch. More pics?
