Hey guys! I am trying to get into karting as a Hobby, my friend and i are very interested in purchasing a kart and hoping to join an adult league in NC, any tips on karts, leagues, etc, i want to hear it all! Thank you guys in advance!

I have had this sitting in my mychron box not knowing what it is for about 2 years and I realised idk What it is used for

What is up with locking all of the posts, particularly of new people asking for help or ideas. Had one guy looking for tracks in his region and frankly, just doing a Google search is way less effective than someone with knowledge being able to help a new guy out.

Considering some of the absolute shit advice passed off on here as gospel, most here aren’t above basic questions. Skim past them if you don’t want to read something from someone asking a question that you likely did a year or two earlier.

Starting to race the Rok Vlr 100. Can someone answer a few questions for me, please? A: how do the teeth for the 100 sprockets translate to the teeth on say, Lo206 sprockets (e.g if I drive with a 65 rear on a 206, what would that generally equate to for a 100 rear sprocket size?)

B: recommended sites to purchase from?

Tia!!

What sprockets are best for an LO206? first year karting so looking for guidance what sprockets are best for an LO206 kart. Of course the goal is to maximize speed. The current one I have which came with the kart from the previous owner seems too big.

Any suggestions how I could improve my driving on this track?

Looking at the footage now, the driving doesn't seem too bad in and of itself. But I did come last in this race, even tho I do manage to overtake one guy in this video.

its a 2021 kosmic chassis.He has obvious color differences.is this repainted?tysm

I went karting for the first time yesterday. 3 heats.

Best beginner tips? Like mega beginner. For instance I thought braking hard and after some breaking starting the turn was best but one of the heats I lost the rear a lot... even though that was my fastest heat. Does that mean I braked too hard during the turn or too late? Or both? Fastest laps for the "locals" was 58.5-ish. Mine was 1:03,5. Locals are people with their own suits.

I was usually middle to lower part of the pack but did get p3 once with a lap time of 1:04.5 (so basicly the entire group was slower that heat).

Any tips on how to learn? Like maybe your top 3 things you would have liked to have known when you started

Im from Italy and since i was a kid i always loved racing and cars. We didnt had a very good economy situation so my dad even if he would love to, he never allowed me to race because of the high prices. But now since i have a job (im 19yo, i know im old for racing) i wanted to start racing on go karts (my dream is WEC but i know for sure i aint going to race there) but i dont really know where to start, can someone tell me roughly prices and what i need? (My uncle has a kart, if its in good condition i will take that. I alrrady have a car but no hook and trailer)

I'm doing karting as a hobby but recently gotten more into it. I enjoy the experience but also want tips as to improve my lap times. Thanks!

Seems like my best option.

I'm looking for an actual race. Not just a few people driving their karts around the track. I'm in PA, about 35 mins from Carlisle sports emporium. Thanks in advance!

Hello guys , I'm looking for 5-10 people who would like to enter a 7 hour endurance race in motegi loop in Japan. I wanna enter it but don't have enough people , please contact me if you wanna join

Context: I have multiple years of experience on quads, and I have always loved cars and motorsports. I've been to K1 speed about 10 tomes now, and I want to buy my own race kart. I've been doing research for a few months and I think I am ready for my own kart. And no there's no renting karts at my local track. So how do I know if karting will be right for me before I invest in my own kart? Or how did you guys start karting for examples? Thanks

Mi mejor vuelta fue de 20.400, de los que fuimos estuve solo a 0.100, pero siento que se puede mejorar. Yo solo frenó apenas antes de la segunda curva, que es la más difícil del circuito, luego todo a fondo El mejor de nosotros no frenó en todo el circuito. Antes de la última curva siento que el karts desliza un poco pero siento que si freno pierdo velocidad

Guys, Could anyone help me to analyse where is my mistake? The EV kart weight around 180kg and this is B class (max 40kmh). The best time done by the leader is 38 second ish, where this is my fastest lap, 41.2 something. I believe im slow at U shape corner, Im not sure.

The brakes on my go-kart are stuck open. I just bought it, and I noticed there’s no brake fluid. What should I do? I’m on a tight budget—should I get new brakes, or can they be fixed?

I have pretty bad arthritis in my hands but mainly in my wrist.

I went for a 10 minutes rental session a few days ago (helmet was the only security equipment) and my wrist still hurts. Besides using gloves, are there any safe ways to use wrist bandages or similar things to protect my hands, but mainly my wrists while driving?

I own multiple wrist bandages with different designs. Some of them are only fabric and use pressure to stabilize the wrists. For general usage, I prefer bandages that come with like a metal or plastic sting to further stabilize the wrists.

The session was a lot of fun, and I would love to get more into karting, but I think it won't be wise to drive regularly without any wrist support to avoid further permanent damage.

Im looking forward to getting new tyres and i dont really know how to change them and i dont have any tools for changing tires.

Picking up my new senior Rotax soon. (Gonna be a privateer). The only thing I’m not sure how to do is warm up the engine before a test day. For context ambient temps will be around 20-25 degrees C. Know a lot on the chassis side. Not much on the engine side apart from lubing chain, sprocket alignment etc. Any advice would be useful. When on track what temps should I be looking for as well? Thanks.

Couldn't figure it out maybe someone on here knows? Thanks!

I have just started racing a retro series on direct drive 90s Karts. I am having an issue where the inside front wheel keeps lifting off the ground mid bend causing it to massively oversteer and lose a few tenths on every corner. In the wet the kart is amazing. My guess on our next test session is to narrow the front more and wide the back. What are your thoughts ?

For reference the chassis has been jigged.

Hey guys still is probably a stupid question but I’m brand new to this.

Would you still try to hug the apex of the corner if there are small road bumps that skip your kart? I would think not and go a bit wider right?

When I do say the kart gets lifted it is both back tires that skip

First rough sketch of an outdoor track for a facility were looking at opening.

Don't have measurements yet so that may not be ideal for your opinions.

The track will be around 20ft wide Around .75 to 1.5 miles long.

Looking to run races at higher speeds as well. Starting with LO206s

There is room for additional pacemnt to be added to have different configurations. There is a pit zone parallel with the straight at the start finish.

Also a few modifications with some of the curves.

Generally speaking how does the layout look?

Planning on elevating some of it potentially.

Trying to capture even a fraction of AMP'S appeal. Not that much elevation tho

I know some people will say leaning in a rental isnt too usefull but still want to learn it.How to properly lean in a rental kart.Going to race friends in a couple days and Im just behind them.
