Tim's kart has a CRG chasis (latest and greatest model) with a Rotax motor. There are many good chasis i.e. CRG, Tony Kart, Birel, Intrepid. The chasis is much more expensive than the motor and like Kevin said the Rotax motor is strong with a lot less to deal with. Everyone of our group except one runs a Rotax, that keeps it very competitive and an even playing field.
I was going to tell you about the deal that my friend Mike got last week if he hadn't bought the kart. It was on Craigslist for a week when he called. Killer deal and a great kart. Mike is going to be fast.
HAIG, I HEARD THAT THE LEOPARDS ARE A LITTLE FASTER BUT I WOULD GO WITH THE ROTAX, LIKE ANYONE SAID, LESS MAINTENANCE...I KNOW LOL
Haig, 2Wild is a good shop ... the guys that run it are nice guys, BUT, do yourself a favor and get a Rotax. If you can swing it, try to get one of the 2009 motors although the earlier motors will work just fine. G
A good customer of mine is selling all his equipment off and retiring from Karting. All equipment is in good shape. All 3 chassis are Birel. 3 turn key Birel karts; w/stands, & Mycron: #1 '08 Birel M32 W/Rotax FR125 + new style clutch: $3,000. #2 '07 Birel M32 W/Rotax FR125: $2,500. #3 '05 Birel M32 W/PRD 125 Fireball Tag motor + PRD spec, carb. $2,000. All karts come with extra's. Will trade for late model Motor-Cross motorcycle. Also, AMB transponder & charger, spark plugs, gears, rain tires & wheels, Exact Toe alignment tool, bead breaker, +++.
Here's a few rough videos. Sorry for the wind noise. I put these together in about 5 minutes. I believe v.2 shows some good racing and v.3 is where Dan chops Jeffrey and removes the front bumper (you'll see it on the track). The wide angle lens makes everything look much further away.
