I was told “arrows or something” on marketplace and it has FC101 at the front. I can’t find any other hints on the chassis

What tire size do I want or need for these rear wheels , backyard dirt oval. Thanks.

Hey folks,

Just bought my first LO206 kart and stand from marketplace, everything looks VERY clean and new except for where the rear bumper bushings insert to the rear of the frame. As seen in the pic, there is some slight flaring of the frame tube, is this a concern or a big nothing burger? The kart has been lifted by the rear bumper with a kart stand, but I think the bolt is bent as well.

Hello everyone, I have been doing about a year of karting now and are looking for an upgrade for my gloves. I had a look at all the different karting gear brands and would like to ask for any recommendations to the gloves you use. Doesn’t matter if it’s homologated or not, I just need a good pair of gloves that preferably have an external seams and last long. My budgets around 50 to 150 quid. Would love to hear your suggestions. I am looking to progress to ownership karting in a few years time for uni.

One more thing, is it true that minus273 is no longer a reputable brand to buy from? Been hearing reviews about their gloves falling apart and all that jazz, heard they used to be really durable.

Many thanks.

I am 15 and racing other people indoor e karting. i get light tapped from behind a lot which is normal I think but occasionalt I’ll get bumped almost into the wall one time into the wall. after they just go and say sorry. the staff doesent do anything.

is this normal

and do they mean the apology.

Hi everyone! I’m a karting enthusiast working on a project called AERO Analysis.I’d love to get some feedback from drivers, parents or coaches who are into karting.

The goal is to help people better understand their practice sessions-compare laps look at sectors and figure out what to work on next. You can upload timing data or telemetry files. There’s a sample session you can try if you don’t have your own data yet.

This is still a version so I’m especially looking for your thoughts on:

-Is it easy to figure out what to do when you first open the site?

-Are the graphs and explanations helpful?

-Does anything. Give unclear results?

-What would make you actually want to use it after a race or practice?
You don’t need a telemetry device. Timing-only data works fine. If your file doesn’t have a channel it will just say "not available”—no problem.

I’m the one making it so I’m open to any criticism. If something doesn’t make sense or feels unnecessary let me know.. If you find a bug please tell me what happened and what browser or device you used - no need to share private data.

Thanks much, to anyone who takes the time to test it. Your input really helps.

Remember, any bugs just comment on here what you found. Or if you’d also like to apply for tester, just let me know and I can give you the discord sever link!

Thanks!

Morning guys.

New kart purchased, shop have given it the once over, race gear purchased. Seat time this weekend. Very excited.

So last weekend I ran my kart up and down the road for 10 minutes for this first time.

The seat got very hot and the acceleration was very boggy. I checked the spark plug after and it was very sooty. Have googled a few things and it noted that this could be because a lack of air. Checked the air filter and it was damaged. It was bent, I would also say it was quite dirty and dry.

Does replacing the filter and spark plug sound like to be enough? Should 10mins of running time have cause all of this or should I be looking at other areas also to check? If so what should I be checking/looking for?

As you can see above not new to Motorsport but new to karting and maintaining engines.

Appreciate everyone’s help!

I ordered a karting suit from kartwears.com on 3 September 2026 (order ID 53744) and paid £70 plus £20 shipping to India. I did not receive an order confirmation email. Over WhatsApp, the seller first said it would ship in 3 days. On 15 September, they told me they could not ship to India and would refund me. As of 27 October 2026, the item has not shipped, I have received no refund, and I have had no reply to my follow-ups for over 25 days. The seller is completely non-responsive to emails, calls or messages.

Hello!

I recently picked up a 2014 CKR SG2 chassis with a prd fireball, over all the condition was pretty good and then motor runs well as well. However going over it and getting a list of stuff to get for next season I had noticed a small bend in my nerf bar which got me worried about the frame being bent.

I checked the frame before buying it as well as after and as far as I could see I didn’t see any major or notable bends or kinks, I was wondering if someone would be able to see if it’s bent or not

If I need to strip it down to properly make sure it’s not bent which is what I was seeing I’m able to do that as well, there’s just not many karting places I’m able to take it to to get professionally looked at near me.

I was planning on replacing a lot of the drivetrain and steering components anyway to refresh to kart so the condition of those are not super important!

Thank you!
