Go kart
« on: March 02, 2021, 10:19:48 PM »
My kids are asking

I know nothing other than the obvious basics..

Do they sell kits to assemble?   Facebook or CL?

Anybody have one their kids have outgrown?
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

Maybe not the most obvious so I’ll point it out: that’s like saying “I want a Jeep”

It can be anything from a glorified power wheels to shifter karts that are a gateway drug to a professional racing career.

 I think there’s still a track down just south of Avon. I rented and raced a dozen years ago south of Syracuse and it was great fun.

There were kart groups we had as side shows at monster jam, they seemed a pretty standard set of components but I don’t know about what classes they get built to and what the limitations are.

This came up for the Avon track. Looks as dead as fingerlake4x4 site. 2019 posts.

Hopefully there’s still activity going on behind the scenes.

how old are your kids?

I think this website may be a good place to start. Looks like they have go kart kits you can buy to build. https://www.bmikarts.com/Go-Kart-Kits

off road/back yard or pavement?

I'm nerdy when it come to this kind of stuff. I love playing around with my mildly souped up mini-bike when I get the chance. Its a Doodlebug Racer with mildly modded/tuned Predator 212cc swapped in, it can pull a wheelie, scoots at top speed of over 40mph. I am not sure how but I have no broken bones, so far  ;D
