My New Kart
I have found myself a Kart
 here are some pics of it http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...80_Kart201.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...80_Kart206.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...80_Kart204.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...80_Kart203.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...80_Kart202.jpg It needs a clean up here and there but its an awesome piece of kit It is an Arrow AX9 B Max chassis running a 125cc Rotax engine. I have picked it up at a good price and im very happy about it. the best thing is I will be picking it up tomorrow morning Not sure when I will be able to get on track with it , but it will be soon , Im waiting for my licence to return from the AKA and Im fitting a restrictor to the exhaust because I have to complete 6 meetings with the restrictor on before I can take it off (Not sure if I am going to yet , I may elect to stay in restricted class as I feel there isnt a huge amount of difference , maybe 1 second per lap at my local track) all in all I am ery happy and cant wait to get my hands on it

Apologies if this is considered rude, but how much did you pay for it?

Have always admired the Arrow chassis, have you seen their Owners/Set-up Manual, it's on-line and full of good information for any brand kart. Happy Motoring.

Thanks jjordan
Took it out for my first run yesterday but sadly an engine problem developed , seems that because it has a brand new clutch in it , whomever did it didnt do the flywheel up tight enough and it worked loose. and of course we didnt have the right tool to fix it , so we did the best we could with what we had and tried again only for it to last 2 laps before it came off again. pack it away we are done Oh well its a fairly easy fix but a pain when your at the track and cant fix it Better luck next time |

Well done. That was a great first race "back". I'd love to have another bash at karting. I started off in 100cc and moved to 125cc gearbox. My plan is to get a 250 formula E (or whatever its called these days) at some stage in the future.
