    Funny timing for the vid, Did a 7hr enduro yesterday (day vid posted) and were up for a brake rebuild (on an Intrepid) as we only had about 10% brake capacity and at mega leg strength needed to get that, were normally one of the best under brakes in the series, made for a long day.

    I’m new to go karting and I’m thinking of starting this year so I’m learning as much as I can about karting. Are all brake systems similar enough to follow the process in this video for any kart, or is there a different process for different brake systems? If they’re different, would it matter much if I followed this process for a different brake system rather than whatever process that system requires?

    I’m looking for a go kart. I’m from Belgium (17 and a little tall). You allways Review the chassis but does it come with the engine? Do I have to buy the chassis and the engine (cables, battery.. etc..) separately?
    If so can u recommend any completes that they ship Europe? Would appreciate it a lot!!
