The F1 still had the big tubing, the Faktor does not. The bars are look the same under the right side of the seat, but looks to move from where they were before. We have ours pre-ordered, if we get it before you see one i'll post pictures. I want to think JT said the rake in the kart maybe a little different aswell. Jt had also said the faktor bites a lot harder than the F1 & Impulse, and what I seen in person at the track the conner speed looks much better than what we have seen on the F1 and impulse. Shay had the kart to beat for the 50k, but totally screwed up on last lap!
