TITANIUM BALLS!! Awesome!!

That would be a F ing awesome ride / Blast ! Probably something like a GSX-R 1100 motor

I want one!!!!!!!!!

Was thinking a 125CC gearbox kart , but htis would be the heat!

Anyone cooking these up in the US?

I've got a Yerf Dog yard kart with front suspension and big tires. I replaced the tecumseh 6 horse with a Honda 250 Big Red 3 wheeler motor. Electric start, reverse, and 5 speed.

It ain't like what we just saw but it is fun.

I once called on an ad in the paper for:

Go kart. 80 horse Merc. $450.

It would take me three pages to describe what I saw. Suffice it to say that this GSXR powered kart HAS to be MUCH safer than the machine I went to see...

Oh and 15 years ago, a friend of a friend had a homemade kart made out of a refrigerator dolly with a Kawasaki H2 750 motor on it.

They ran it 140 mph all the time at their local speedway.

Sick unit there!!! I WANT ONE!!!!!

I can see R addiction ripping around the track on one. Wearing the helmets that hold the beer cans!

CAP, Did you say Arnolds?!!:cool:

That's cool BUT way to much motor in a kart of that size!

A 80 or 125cc 2-stroker with shifter is the way to go.

Who has any experience with 125CC shifter carts. Would it be practical to have a couple and friends set up a coarse in a parking lot and just raise hell. Are they fairly reliable?

Fun, that's an understatement!. Will that scenario get you in trouble, probably :).

If you are just looking to go out and have fun, pick up a non shifter kart, one that just has a centrifugal clutch and a 2 stroke motor. They are pretty reliable but do need some tinkering constantly.

Slower would be a 4-stroke motor (non shifter) usually comes with a briggs motor.

We have close to us a large parking lot that the local fire and police use for training. Not to many people know that this exists but we found it. They designed the lot to allow practicing of hydroplaning :). We would take out our four wheelers and Z28's back in the days and set up a course to have fun with. Seems the local police did not like that and kicked us off. Now had we had some of these go-karts, WOW that would of been a riot.

I know an ex member who'd would want the pickup.


That guy knows his cart,

Does anyone know about cart? Any information would be apprecaited.

Nice Race suit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! That guy should have been wearing leathers...but he did handle that thing pretty good..what a handful

Arnold's! Yea I been there b4 and malibu ib NJ also but I think it's gone now Malibu

I've been in the 125 shifter's... nothing like that thing.

Wow does that thing look like fun!!!

SS390- Would you buy a 125 shifter to screw around with if you had a place to run it?

In a heart-beat!!! These carts are BIG TIME fun for people of any age. I started racing in carts. As a matter of fact, almost all of the big name drivers in most forms of racing had their butt in a cart at one time or another. They are a GREAT way to learn car control... with the short wheel base and a lot of power they are are a handful. I have to warn you though, these things are NOT toys. There are capable of pulling some serious g's and they flat out move. Obviously they are not quite as quick as the one in the video, but I can assure you they are very quick. As an adult you can expect to get pretty bruised-up and have some sore muscles. If you do some searching around you'll likely find that there are race tracks around you. You can buy a used cart with spares fairly cheap (make sure you get some spares). If you're not into the competitive racing idea, you can get something dated for very little money. Parts are cheap and they are very simplistic. If you have the space, get two carts and you and a friend will have the time of you're life with these things. To this day I still jump at any opportunity to hop in a cart. Find a cart shop or track in your area and check them out... I PROMISE you'll be hooked after taking a spin in one. Like I said, they are not little toys.

BTW, they are tight fitting. I'm kind of muscular and I have a hard time finding loaner carts that I fit in, so you may have to do some customizing to get a cart to fit you if you're not 150 lb. and 5'7".

:D I look just like Lou Ferrigno but did not find it necessary to tell everyone:p

You're so cute Avon lady.:hammy:

You are one of my best customers:D I have got your number cub scout:p

Can anyone use this? Never used.

LS JR.

how much

That's what were trying to find out, how much we can get for it.

shifter karts CRANK!!!!!!!!

they will easily run 120 on a real race track they run eth laydown karts at watkins glen. Its pretty common to break ribs when racing them becasue of the gs and lack of suspension. Lots of guys wear rib gaurds but brakes still happen.

I;d run my formula ford any day at those speeds but i';m strapped in and not goign any place. when you wreck a shifter kart you get tossed. I've sene vids of guys literally doing cartwheels all the while breaking appendages.......

Puder

This is a TONYCART,do you know anything about them?
It was left to me by a friend,who had it for years,its never been used., never even been started.

Lucky Strike, have you had any offers? Don't know what it's worth.:)

Going to try an get in touch with TonyKart tomorow.
Hope to get some info from them.
Thought someone here may know about them.
Anyone know where they are?

i'd guestimate its prolly worth like 1500-2500. I'm not relaly into karting very much though. Fun but i'd preffer a full size race car!

new shifter karts generally go for like 5000-7500 depending on how crazy you get into them. Rotax (kinda similar to your's) karts are like 6000 new.

I ran karts for years... I started racing them when i was 9 until i was 15... great times, tought me how to drive with control... We had 4 karts at one time.. wells cargo trailer.. you name it.. we didnt run shifter karts or eduro karts (the lay down kind)... we ran sprint karts, similar to the one pictured. Ran briggs and stratton 4 cycle 5hp motors.... they dynoed at up to 15hp in the modified class! We talked to a few briggs reps and they said they would be scared to sit next to one spinning at the rpm's we ran em at, and as punched out as much as we did to em.. hehe...such fun in those days...

Thanks puder.
It's not a shifter kart.
It's the next class down I think.

LS,

Not knowing all the details, I'd guess $1100-1600 would be a fair price.

Thats a 100 Yamaha with a Can exhaust. Tony kart makes a great kart. You can get an idea of how old the motor is by looking on the outside of the cylinder for a # & the # of fins on the head will tell you old or new style. Most folks prefer the older motors as the newer castings are of inferior quality. Older motors still retain their value. A unknown motor without a history e.t.c. will hold minimal value. Basic stock 100 motors are $600 . Blueprinted motor with pedigree cost around $1300-00 The kart may have some #' on the chassis, if you can find those # you will know what you have. Take it to a local kart shop to get a value. Used kart values suck. I bought a similar type cart last December for $850-00 complete + parts (2001 model). That cart is probably worth $1500- 1800. Try E-bay & the local track.
Do the right thing...race it!

Johno
don't want to race it
its not been used ever
would that make it worth more?
the motor has never had oil in it.
thanks for the info.
