Hello, total nube here.
My neighbour is getting rid of his kart and asked me if i wanted to buy it off him. I dont know what these go for and it looks cool but its old. I dont know if id make a big mistake buying it or maybe its one of those rare older chassis. What does a chassis like this go for typically? Is it rare or interesting at all? It has brake in the front which confused me, i can also see it used to be a shifter chassis.
Welcome.
Not really old enough to be of historical significance and not really new enough to be top-level competitive. Good kart though if it’s straight and no too worn out. The front brakes are from it being a shifter chassis.
What is your intended use?
Oh ok, fair enough. Thank you for responding. If i was to grab it id end up just having fun learning to go kart i guess, nothing crazy like racing yet.
I guess I’d throw an internet ballpark figure of $1200 for the chassis. Maybe $1500 since it has front brakes. Provided it’s straight and doesn’t have major grinding to the rails underneath it could be a great chassis to start with.
What tracks are local to you?
Yeah I was going to say $1000-$1500 so I agree with James. For a fun kart just to turn laps it would probably be fine if it’s in good shape and straight.
currently in Canada, nearest track is Mosports track in Bowmanville, yah the chassis is in great condition other than looking older
