I have a go kart body that was given to me and I am gonna run it on my kart. It is fiberglass. It is a one piece. I havnt seen any people running 1 piece bodys in a while. Why did people switch to the 2 and 3 piece bodys?
3 piece bodies were around before 1 piece.I have a go kart body that was given to me and I am gonna run it on my kart. It is fiberglass. It is a one piece. I havnt seen any people running 1 piece bodys in a while. Why did people switch to the 2 and 3 piece bodys?
It had bearly been used before I got it and then it sat for about 15 years. Just got it a few months ago. I sanded it down just because it was faded and then I painted it white again. It has no physical damage at all.And un molested !
I ran 1 pc body in 96/97 , I cant recall the name but I purchased them at the Charlotte trade show3 piece bodies were around before 1 piece.
1 piece bodies didn't show up until the mid 2000's and then it was just the 1 company selling them and that was areotech.
Damage it bad enough you're out the whole body
Thats cool! Did you like the one piece body?
At the time I did but now I'm good with the current stylesThats cool! Did you like the one piece body?
Looks like one of the old Safrits bodies.
What track is that at?
That was Cove Valley Speedway in Curryville Pa...unfortunately they no longer race thereWhat track is that at?
I think it is pretty thick, personally i think that this body is thicker then the new 3 piece bodys.If the body is pretty thick it is a true Aerotech body. Which were super popular at one time. But if it is thinner like most bodies are built it is a copy. There was a copy going around for a while that was built by a guy in KY.
I am gonna measure the thickness today to see if it is an areotech. That would be cool if it is.Could very well be a aerotech. I remember his noses were prob close to 1/4” - 3/8” thick. Seems like I remember him suggesting people use rubber seat washers between the body and kart when mounting for flex. I could be wrong on that though.
