I'm newly involved with flat road course karts. Hope this is the correct section. I have a little experience with jr champs for my son.
Google has failed me thus far. Does anybody have a ball park weight of a Birel cadet kart(w/l206). Just trying to source enough lead to get it up to 265, and my son is at 90lbs with full gear. I'm not able to get to the kart to weigh it, before I get to my lead supply. It seems awfully light compared to a champ kart. The only info I have which isn't the most reliable, is 136lbs. So with kid in kart, that would be 226. So it would need approximately 40lbs, which seem like a lot.
I'm quite surprised just how different the base components are between the two styles of kart. I think I'm in for a bit of learning curve.
