Jr Champ would be 13, 14, 15 yr old yes same as spec as Sr Champ , basic not exact breakdown WKA overlaps final yr of classes, Jr Sportsman I 7,8,9, yr old, Jr Sportsman II 10, 11,12 yr old are shorter wheel base , I know nothing about MARS rules but It's surprising they don't define it better they still need Insurance coverage to race.

That's good it will be much easier to get him comfortable starting out, plus little safer.

I cant see the OP's posts, hope he got a Jr Sportsman champ for his son, it's the correct kart for his age, I hope Mars isn't skirting the rules.

Good, you know what I'm talking about, new guy buys without research shows up to race and gets told can't race.

Fully understand your like myself get a bum rap sometimes for being so direct, but yes I knew the scoop you were only pointing that out just looking out for his best interest just in case.

Don't sweat it just chuckle and let it go in one ear and out the other I had to learn to, most times NO response back sends more of a message than responding stooping to the same level, If all I have to do is deal with the directness to have access to the knowledge I'll suck it up, in the end you know your only trying to help.

Been there , show up at an Sprint track , setup for dirt had our ikf membership though . Still would not let us on track.
Chassis was cheap enough I figured why not
It is 40" from front axle to rear. 43" would be back of rear tire somewhere
The seat brackets I have are still some what short I think for my son to learn with. Right side was about 7.5 inches and mounted pretty high on the seat. Do you measure seat post brackets from weld to center of bolt hole or center of the tube it mounts to? Was told a local track can help me with these once we get up there.
Took my sons to eagles nest Saturday and they are both wanting to go at it. Maybe if the older one is are lucky, by the end of the season he'll get to try

Late back to this ballgame, but a champ kart with a 40" wheelbase doesn't sound like any Titan T3 I ever saw, and certainly not the one I owned, so disregard everything I said in post #4 above, which applies to a full sized Titan T3 champ, not a Jr Sportsman 1/II champ.
That having been said, at least it seems to be the a Jr Sportsman champ, which is the size the you need to support your son's racing through age 12.
