Hello everyone. New guy from Oklahoma City area....
Iv been around the karting sense for a lil bit - I help out in the in field at ( coody creek speedway ) in muskogee ok....
About 5 years ago i made several attempts at getting in the sport.... The first one I had ended up picked up by a tornado ..... The 2nd one ended up stolen.....
In the last mount I have been in the market looking for a kart - iv had a hard time find something - twice iv had people not show - one of them( after a 3 hour long ride ).
I paid one guy part payment ( paypal ) and then start trying to more money out of me - he also took parts off the kart and sold them after a deal had been started..... ( Paypal did agree to refund my money ).......
Iv decided to make another attempt at this..... I would like to get some guidance from some of the more experienced drivers and techs.
The class I have chosen is 212 predator ( stock engine )
i found a 99 ultramax centerforce - it appears to be in good shape - it's got a wedge body - newer hubs.- it's extended 6 inches in the rear ( bumper back ) - it has an tensioner rod to help keep the engine in place. It appears he has done some advance engineering on it.
All it need is wheels and tires and a engine.....
he is asking 1500.
my budget was originally around 750 but I really like this set up....
I'm not looking for the latest and greatest. I just looking for a start kart - something to get some lap experience and other basic experience. Eventually when money is right I'd like to move into a outlaw kart.
I don't wanna purchase some that I'm not gonna be able to find parts for.
its my understanding that these karts have a pill style for camber..... Iv been looking around on our friend google and I can't seem to find where to purchase the pills?
how about other parts? Such as carrier bearings - wheel spindle bearings?
Thanks for any advice or info.
