Jim,

Interested, email me some pics to LightningHockey@gmail.com. I’m in the Raleigh area but frequent the GoPro track if this is still available.

 

Thanks!

Please PM me details such as cost and length of time for rent.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the tips John. I’ve been keeping my eye open on training session or coaching seminars to open at my local track (GoPro Motorplex). The guys at KartSportNA have been a huge help and I’m slowly but surely learning the ropes. I was lucky enough to get some driving and setup help from the iKart crew at the USPKS round one race, top notch group over there. I’m slower than the other TAG guys on track but holy moly am I having fun! Which for me as a recreational karter is the most important part. Luckely, I haven’t had to change anything jet wise on the Rotax and I have run in the heat, cold, and cold/rainy day. I’m loving the Rotax so far! I will try to pick the brains of some local karters on their setup and tuning methods the next time I am at the track.

Thanks John –  I have the disk but I don’t think they are useful due to the way the unlock codes are generated. I filled out the email and sent it back for a new license but the email came back as undeliverable. My guess is they are no longer in business but I could be wrong. I’m a newb at this karting stuff but I have a Rotax Sr./Arrow combo  that I am learning on and I’m now comfortable enough with my home track to start tuning the chassis and engine. I got the weatherpod which is a nice piece to generate the weather data. It would have been nice to use the maxjet software along with it to help with the jetting, spark plug, and needle position but I may need to look at other options.

Thanks

Bump, price lowered.

I’m interested in the kart if we could arrange shipping to NC.  PM me if it’s still available, maybe we can work something out.

Thanks

I’m interested as well, pm me your contact info if the kart is still available.

Thanks

You’re not looking at it from a business standpoint. For the majority it has nothing to do with trashing the kart. You can go to any major event and there with be a company out there with arrive and drive opportunities. I spoke with one of these companies at this years USPKS race at the GoPro Motorplex. For a 100cc or 125cc kart the arrive and drive cost was $2000 plus you had to buy two sets of tires, fuel, and usables. You had to pay your own fees ofcourse. You also had to have your own mechanic or you had to hire one from the renter. From a business standpoint this guy isn’t selling one race chassis since he has a big rig and does this as a business. His fees are high since he runs a business renting ready to drive race winning karts.

Now look at a local shop or outfit, maybe even chassis maker who has some hot shoes who want to race. He jumps on a $7000 setup and pays $3000 or so to run the weekend. They just recouped a big portion of the cost. They then part out the one race chassis and motor and all the other parts to break even or make a small profit. Most of these one race chassis come from people who aren’t trying to screw you but recoup some of their cost.

I can shed some light on this after some research over the past week or so. Jeff – I’m not sure about the paper weight comment as the Maxjet is nothing more than software so if someone was selling software without a license on Ebay I’m sure the buyer could get a refund. They also make a weather pod called RaceJet and it is not a paper weight if that’s what you are referring to as there is not an unlock code to use it and never was. the Maxjet software that has to be unlocked just integrated with it but was not required. I have one and it works and gives weather data, fairly accurate from what I can tell as it shows the same data as my other weather station.

As for the Maxjet – what I have found is that the servers are offline which would be a guarantee that the company is closed and the software is no longer supported. With that said you can install the software and click the 14 day trial and use the software as many times as you want. It appears that the software does a check sum on a server that no longer exists to count days/uses. With that server offline you can use the software without expiration. Now before anyone goes on about using software without a license I never said I was as the software is out of date with no way to update it and I doubt I would tune my Rotax based off of it as there have been revisions since and are no longer available. Jet-Tech is about the only way to go for software from what I can tell.
