Curtis CookseyParticipant
Molecule makes some good stuff to clean your Kart with: http://www.accelerationkarting.com/molecule.aspx
Motul also makes some cleaners and lubes: http://www.accelerationkarting.com/motul.aspx
I am not sure starting fluid or carb cleaner are good ideas for your health?
Curtis CookseyParticipantIt is April 1st? Good one!
Curtis CookseyParticipantIndependent adjustment isn’t a necessity but it sure makes fine tuning your front end easy. They crack if you tighten them down before the teeth on the castor adjustment are aligned right. If you make sure the teeth are aligned correctly before you tighten them down you won’t have any problems.
Curtis CookseyParticipantIt was a cool helmet, but it might be time for a new one? I believe Bieffe has been out of business for over 10 years. Acceleration has some Arai, Sparco, Zamp, or Bell helmets that would be great!
Curtis CookseyParticipantThey are all good chassis, but you can’t beat the bang for the buck of the RR Extreme chassis. http://www.accelerationkarting.com/extremeindykartchassis.aspx
If you have the money get the 30mm Tony Racer. http://www.accelerationkarting.com/tonykartracer401.aspx
You will be happy with either one!
Curtis CookseyParticipantThese are great chassis for the money! I recently put a Rotax EVO 125 on a 32mm Premier model and was pleasantly surprised. It is a great alternative to the high priced chassis and is just as fast! I can’t wait to drive it again, it was easy to set-up and well balanced.
Here is a link with pricing: http://www.accelerationkarting.com/extremeindykartchassis.aspx
Curtis CookseyParticipantThe Turbo Tire changer is the best tool I have seen, and I have seen and used many over the years. http://www.accelerationkarting.com/tiretools.aspx
Curtis CookseyParticipantAcceleration Kart Racing offers free shipping and great prices too!
Curtis CookseyParticipantGabriel, I put a fresh 2012 Rotax engine on the Dyno vs. a 2015 EVO engine. The 2012 engine had almost 1 more horsepower than the EVO, but the EVO did have a wider smoother power band. I think with the upgrade kit your engine will be right there with the 2015 EVO engines. As soon as we get an upgrade kit for that 2012 motor I will dyno it before and after to see what it does. I think the piston and crank stuff was mostly to make the engine even more reliable and the ignition and carb should be pretty easy to install. If you have any questions when you get the upgrade kit just give us a call or email at Acceleration Kart Racing. http://www.accelerationkarting.com
Curtis CookseyParticipantI agree with Howie about the show! I just love seeing Kart racing on TV. I do wish they showed more adults racing though, this sport is not just for kids.
Curtis CookseyParticipantI raced an EVO Rotax Sr. motor this weekend at our local club race. It was very easy to tune and drive, but didn’t seem too much faster than an older motor. It was probably about 1 tenth of a second faster on a 30 second a lap track. It was easy to be consistent with the EVO motor. In my opinion the new changes to the Rotax make it the best TAG motor I have ever driven.
If you have any question or want to buy one of these great engines call 888 466 5278 or check out our website http://www.shopakr.com
Curtis CookseyParticipantThe EVO engines are now available from Acceleration, but I haven’t heard about the upgrade kits yet.

Curtis CookseyParticipantDon’t forget Acceleration: http://www.accelerationkarting.com/ignitionunite-starterbatteryelectrics.aspx
We have Rotax, Parilla, PRD, etc.
Curtis CookseyParticipantWe have the new EVO engines in stock! They look great and we can’t wait to get one on the track.
Curtis CookseyParticipantI used my new Hegar CR 125 starter kit this weekend and it was awesome!
Easy to install and so cool to just push a button and start the engine.
Get yours at: http://www.accelerationkarting.com/hegarcr125electricstarterkit.aspx
Curtis CookseyParticipantI have only used the Swift CRG axles and for me they work great! We sell quite a few of them here at Acceleration Kart Racing and I don’t think we have had anyone unhappy with the Swift axles.
Curtis CookseyParticipantGo ahead and call us our phones should work. If for any reason they don’t please email us.
Thanks,

Curtis CookseyParticipantI would probably try giving the kart some more caster first and then maybe raise the rear. If the track is smooth and not much grip you need to get more weight transfer.
Curtis CookseyParticipantFirst rule to open class shifter karts: there are no rules in open class shifter karts!
Curtis CookseyParticipantLooks like a great plan to me Eric.
Curtis CookseyParticipantTJ and Daniel make the Rotax sound like a good choice. I need more horsepower than the KT100 and I think the Rotax are hard to drive and that makes them fun!

I would be much more concerned that it was straight. See if you can’t put an alignment tool on the front end. If a chassis is bent it is usually visible at the spindles with a good alignment tool like a Sniper V2.

We have Leatt neck collars in stock and we ship to Canada.
October 16, 2014 at 9:59 am in reply to: Opinion on kart scrapes. are they too deep?? Link to pics included #35364Curtis CookseyParticipantThe price is right. If the engine runs I think it is a good deal. A new TonyKart chassis without a motor is almost $5,000.
Curtis CookseyParticipantLooks like some old prototype modified Honda stuff. Tim Pappas did was or is MRE. I think he had a local place (Aircone) here in Las Vegas make the pipe to his specs. He also liked to have them coated with this ceramic high temp power coat that was supposed to hold the heat in.
