Hello folks. I’m looking to get into karting just as a more than likely once a month thing to turn some laps at Orlando Kart Center instead of renting. I came across an OTK FA V2 rolling chassis listed locally which was running a 2 stroke Rotax with a Mychron 4, extra tires and a cart for 2k but he’s had it listed for 5 months without selling it so I’m sure cash in hand would probably lower what he’s asking. I’m wanting a 4 stroke however. Are the V2’s easy to swap over to an LO206 type engine for example other than moving the sprocket inboard of the carrier, shifting the seat and getting a motor mount adapter. Not looking to break the budget just for some occasional fun. I’ve been searching for a complete kart and have spoken with a few racers at OKC but everyone wants dumb money for their karts. Like $3400 for a similar rolling chassis without a motor or Mychron. Heck, I may just throw an HF Ghost on it and go turn some laps. I’m 56 and not really looking to compete. I’m excellent mechanically so I can easily wrench on my own kart. Should I just be patient and wait for a good deal on a complete 4 stroke in case I ever want to get a little more serious and run the LO206 class. Thoughts?
