  • Due to the questions I was getting about the go kart featured in my last kart video, "9 Reasons to Buy an Old Go Kart", I decided to make another with information on how people can find an old racing kart for the best price.

    Those spacers are not for your ride height or at least not intended for it. When racing on a oval track (I don’t know anything about road course racing) you can shift your weight for going into turns by having more weight on specific spots. The idea is to have your weight shift to you FR allowing for more bite.

    @TechMultiview100 9 лет назад

    hey I am purchasing a go-kart that has all the tires being slicks and i wanted to know if they would be fine to drive around my neighborhood. I know you can not drive them in the rain and that is fine but I just wanted to know how they would run, wear, and work. most important thing I want to know is how long they will last if I drive an average of 10 mins a day because I had a previous go kart that had tires with tread that were meant for lawn mowers and they wore out within 2 weeks and completley poped. the speed is about 25mph please answer

    • @JPRacing222
      @JPRacing222 9 лет назад +1

      TechMultiview100 Slicks last a long time as long as you keep them out of direct sunlight when not in use. The only reason that professional drivers change tires so often is because they loose their 'edge' (about .5 sec quicker depending on the track) after a few hard laps. If you don't mind putting up with a bit less grip you will easily easily a year out of them and most likely more.

    • @CarsandCameras
      @CarsandCameras  9 лет назад

      Thanks! Begin by taking the caliper and master cylinder off the frame, then carefully taking them apart and cleaning them with some very fine sandpaper, or something equally as non-abrasive. If all of the seals are in tact and your brake pad(s) are in working order, put them both back together. Then buy a new brake line (you could clean the old one, but a new one would be cheap and much faster than cleaning the old one) and bend it to fit. Finally, reinstall everything to the frame and proceed to bleed the brakes. Hope this helps.
