So im trying to resurrect my old kart. I havent turn it on the last 10 - 12 year… engine need a total rebuild.
But the thing is chassis wise im trying to use it again juat for sake of fun. Relive my old moment. The problem is there is no swiss hutless dealer in my country. There is just OTK and intrepid. Axle is corroded. Brake need a new 3 rotors and brake pads. Can i use other brands for brakes and axle?
What about bodywork? Im trying to find this whole setup. Seats i believe i can use anything right? What about stub axle can i crossed brand with otk or intrepid?
Funny story about the husky. Back then i couldnt buy the TM shifter engine bcs its crazy expensive. That engine was given to me from my dad’s colleague. It performed really well back then, i went real close with the TMs.
My previous engine before husky was Honda CR125 but couldnt keep up on the straight with the TMs
Well back at the main topic since there is no more swiss hutless dealer. Can i do cross brand to otk or intrepid to change part such as, rotors, brake pads, axle, stub axle n others?
You can but your mileage will really vary. Do your research on every part.
Some are interchangeable and others decidedly are not. A spindle for example can change in drop angle, material, length, and offset. So there’s different things to think about.
Most parts on most karts can be replaced, some brake components may not be able to be found.
Mondo Kart and another Swiss Hutless dealer in other countries may be a good place to start…
Axles should be interchangeable, assuming you buy corresponding keys to adapt the axle to your equipment. In the US, PKT is pretty good about it but not sure about your country. Seats you can use anything. Brakes, if you can’t find compatible parts, you can just buy a whole new system (caliper / master cylinder).
But honestly, if you’re going to replace that many things, you’re better off just buying a used complete chassis rather than dumping money into getting an uncompetitive kart running.
