Gone back to Rear Wheel Drive

[chunktrophy]

no ive not sold the trophy and bought another V6, just got a new kart. Birel RX32 chassis with IAME 100cc Formula Blue engine. Ran the engine in last weekend in the morning then flat out in the afternoon, 16000 RPM, mmmmmmm nice. Your thoughts welcome. Ian

Like that..............a lot =P~

Whats a set up like that cost???

Theres a couple of curcuits near me, had a go in a direct drive rotax beast.

So much fun :twisted:

i drove the birel with a rotax engine when i test drove it, really quick eh!!!

its 1250 quid for the engine 'kit' which includes exhaust and radiator etc.
then 2200 for a new Birel chassis, not cheap but Birel are known to be one of the best around. you can easily get a 2nd hand chassis though, any rotax one will do, i got a 'special' deal on the birel cos i know the dealer, it had done 3 meetings and i paid 1200 for it with a brand new tillett seat.

Racing it at Larkhall near Glasgow once my licence comes through.

When i had a go i thought it would be like them standard ones...............was i in for a supprise

Bit awkward bump starting & holding on to them when you stall out the back of a curcuit.

Boy do they like to rev :twisted:

I have to admit I know nothing about Karts, but that looks a serious bit of kit :twisted:

What's she puttin' out?

 

[chunktrophy]

it runs approx 21-22 horsepower, and you know your moving when you are that close to the ground.

steve, sounds like a TKM kart you drove, the ones you have to bump start!?

The blue class is TAG (touch and go) with push button start and onboard alternator.

stupidly fast!!!!
