I am racing in GX-UK, the UK's new, affordable owner-driver kart series, and Brad has invited me along to build my kart, and then go and race it. So in this video we're going to build the kart from scratch, then test it at Clay Pigeon Raceway!

Excellent video - and your co-star was fabulous!
😂
Great video, welcome to GX, great to have you with us! My race footage will be out tomorrow 😊
Top tip with the carvan spanner!!
Would be great to see this at club level in Scotland as a former World Formula driver, it was a great class and this seems to be on a similar level.
Damn wish we had this class in the netherlands
That looks awesome i am interested reminds of my club 100 days.
Isn't this the one that was all laid out when we came round?.. Love these build videos
That’s right!
I've been watching Brad and Alex's videos as well, we have a similar formula in the US with a sealed 4 stroke. One thing I don't get is how the grid orders are set - seems random! I love the tire rule, wish we had that in the States too.
It’s a “randomised” but fair grid -
Where you have a front, middle and back starting position and everyone’s positions add up to the same number.
Question is. We're can I buy all this for a grand?
No where
You need to put in at least 1800
That’s a good deal to
It’s very sad
@@AviMclaughlinthat’s simply not true.
Looks like a great class , I’ve noticed that the rear sprocket is inboard so is the number of teeth fixed by the class regs ? Because changing the rear sprocket is a not quick axle out job ( unless you have some lovely Kelgate bearing hangers ) love the idea of one set of tyres and pre 2018 chassis , I take it you are like Retroracer/ IKR and not MSA licensed ?
11:15 I thought red was a previous tag. Have we been racing against no restricted engines in cadets?
noob question: isn't it bad having the weight from the motor all to one side or isn't it noticeable? Or is this compensated by having the driver slightly to the left?
The drivers seat is usually offset to the opposite side to account for this. Hard to notice but it’ll be off to the side at a slight angle
Can I get the link to all items?
Hi. Do you have a parts list for this build (or similar)? I'd like to have a go building one but I'm totally new to this and feel like it would be better to start from scratch to learn rather than buying something pre-built. Thanks.
How fast are these compared to the average rental karts? 9bhp doesnt sound much. Slower than club100?
Great question! They’re about 2 seconds per lap faster than Club 100 on average. Although the power is less, the weight is MUCH less, the chassis are much better and the tyres are much grippier. They’re a LOT faster than even the fastest rental kart.

Got to respect the send!
@@CallumRaces 🤣
Good video Callum, looks like you enjoyed your first foray into GXUK karting, coming back for more?
Is this a 4 stroke kart? I heard that a honda 390cc 4 stroke is a good engine to but what 4 stroke engine would you recommend?
Can anyone recommend me some links to buy some of this stuff?
Can you give me build list please
Correction. Using a soft axle will improve grip while a stiffer axle will give you less grip. That's why you always use a soft axle in the rain.
That’s the opposite of what the experts say and what I’ve experienced. It’s all about how much energy is forced into the tyres. Here’s a quote from KKC karting:
Energy and Grip: A hard or stiff axle doesn’t flex like a soft one and forces energy into the tyres, making them work harder and provide more grip. This setup is typically used in cold or slippery conditions.
Chassis Bind: Softer axles will free up the kart.
But at the end of the day it’s a relatively minor change in performance - especially in the kind of karts we are using here. It’s all about fine tuning what works best.
I find it hard to believe this was 1000 cause in the US this would’ve been 3000 at least
The series has cost controls in place to make sure you can’t spend too much.
Tyres are included in the entry fee and must last for an entire season. We aren’t allowed wets.
Chassis must be 2018 or older. That can be picked up for £150 or less. Engines sold on the official group have a limit of £450.
So you can see it’s easily possible to make one for £1000 or under for this series.
@@BradPhilpot a full chassis here in America is 1.5k minimum
@@thesauceboss2610with respect, that's not true. Lots of LO206 karts being sold for less than that
Well karting in the US is not that big plus most frames are imported driving up costs @thesauceboss2610
@@BradPhilpothow can you make a set last a season? They need to be some hard tyres then ain’t it ?
Soft axle gives you more grip btw
It depends with how much grip there is on the track, normally a hard axle provides more grip and a softer axle less grip.
Can I ask a proper cheeky question... what do you weigh? I'm so interested in giving this a go but I need to shift some weight first 😂😂😂
No problem! 85kg ish with kit. I was RIGHT on the weight limit. Brad is 75kg ish, so has an advantage as he can place lead where he wants it.
@CallumRaces ya and I'm 110 so I've got a bit of a way to go yet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you still have the list of links for the individual parts to build this? I'd be greatly appreciative. It's insane how much detail you've both put into just building this in just a short video absolutely amazing! 👏 👏 👏
