This particular death trap weighs 130kg (or about 65kg less than the bike that the engine came out of). It has tiny little disc brakes and normal shifter kart slicks. It does the 0-60 sprint in well under 3 seconds and is claimed to do 170 km/h with your *** about two inches from the asphalt.

I would find travelling at 170km/h 2 inches off the ground, with nothing but a hollow tube chassis and not even restrained a little unnerving. But damn it would be fun!

That thing shouldn't be on a kart track, too much power, needs to be on a proper GP/Bike track. Hardly gets going in that video

Anyone know of a go-kart chassis around?
If I can find a complete one for the right price (- motor), I will set one up like this! I can get hold of an R1 motor, and I've got a turbo to suit. Now....that's an idea! AGRO. |

Wow, that thing is one hell of a speed machine. I agree with M14A-Mclaren, put it on a proper track and lets see its real potential.
