Jon,

If you're considering a 2 stroke 100cc kart, try a 125cc gearbox kart first.

I thought 100cc karts were amazing, totally different from hire karts I'd tried before. Then I had a go in a 125cc gearbox and was gobsmacked.

Power delivery is awesome, and with 6/sp sequential gearbox, you do feel a bit like a touring car driver. Handling is quite different with disc brakes up front aswell.

They're a bit more expensive to buy, but maintenance is cheaper (engine rebuild after 50hours, instead of 2 hours).

The downside? Bruised ribs!

I bought one a few months ago, and the scoob just ain't the same anymore...

Cheers,
Andy

Mike,

Nice idea, depending on dates, I'm definitely in!

Whatever happened to this thread then? Did the RS guys chicken out?

 

There were only a few replies from the RS girls, so I gave up. However, if Ander's one should get off the ground at Buckmore Park, then I am sure I can get together a posse of RS owners to attend, so we will still get a chance to kick your butts...

Haven't been over to 22b.com.bbs yet so am unsure of the set up. However, I have raced at Buckmore Park and it is excellent. A very fast track when using 100cc karts (80+mph) and very twisty at the bottom end Not sure if these are available to hire but the twin engined karts do 60+mph and have a centrifugal clutch so they don't stall

 

I'm up for it - if its still a goer.

Regards
James
