    I think you might be looking at the KF “hand brake” kart. I’m not well versed on TaG kart hand brake rules, but I believe the brake is operated by a hand lever that looks just like a clutch lever, which has a separate master cylinder, hence no bias adjuster.

    I never felt comfortable getting the set screws that tight, always thought that it couldn’t be good for the axle.  Use axle collars, they work great. Next time you replace a bearing, look into SKF Concentra bearings. They are pricey, but worth it in my opinion. No more set screws to mark up the axle, and when it’s cleaned with brake cleaner and properly installed it will not move. I only have 2, and I use a regular bearing in the middle.

    For 2 years I transported my kart using a 2006 Toyota Tacoma quad cab long (6′) bed. Worked great. The bed was wider at the top than at the bottom, so I built a platform using the factory indentations in the bed liner for 2×6’s.  I screwed 5/4 boards to the top of the 2×6’s, and the kart just rolled right up onto them. Once I removed the front bumper, the kart fit perfectly in the bed on the platform, with room for tires, 10×10 canopy, parts, and toolbox underneath.

    The most common advice is to buy whatever is supported in your area, but based on where you live my guess is that you have plenty of options.  From there you can go any way you want.  I have owned 2 CRG’s, both fast.  If you go with a CRG I highly recommend the ceramic brakes. My current CRG has steel, and they work great but the ceramic are  lighter and they felt better to me.  Anything that is built by CRG or uses their brakes would be similar, meaning CRG, Zanardi, Energy, DR, GP, etc.  As a side note, DR kart parts fit CRG’s and can be cheaper as I have recently discovered.

    I have no experience with Tony Kart’s other than thinking they looked fast when they passed me.  Tony’s are popular, but from I have seen they have some of the most expensive replacement parts.

    Intrepid’s new karts look nice, and their new shifter is priced at $4400 brand new, significantly lower than others.  I am looking at a new or newer kart in a few months, and the new Intrepid is the one I am currently set on.

    Arrow has introduced a new shifter model, but they do not seem to have a huge following in the shifter market for whatever reason, despite their success in TaG and other classes.

    Whatever you pick, one thing that I have learned is that a clean straight chassis that is set up and maintained properly will be as fast as anything else on the track with the right driver, regardless of what color the frame is painted.
