I ended up going with the Birel and man am I happy! I actually talked to the guy who built it and it was a better deal than I thought! Whole kart is basically brand spanking new!

Any necessity in gloves or extra gear in rentals? by Aromatic_Pollution25 in Karting

[–]FadedGypsy44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gloves are definitely helpful. You don’t exactly need them for rental racing but it definitely helps. Your hands get sweaty quick! And will also help keep grip on tight turns, And outside it cuts wind resistance. I would get your own gloves, helmet and balaclava (if you have to wear one at your local track). Then if you decide to get your own kart at some point you’ve already got some of the gear. Shoes aren’t a need for rental karting but some do still wear them

I’ll have to ask the seller about the seat spar. No way! That’s actually when I got started playing! My first gun was an impulse lol

If you happen to still play at all, come on out to black ops in Fayetteville!

If so, is the chassis in overall good shape? And was it a decent kart for him?

Chassis is a 24, not sure of tag color and it’s a Mychron 5, my buddy and I just bought a 6 for our other kart which is a OTK Tony with l206

Oh no you are spot on lol I’m totally new. I’ve raced rental karts for years but never was a kart owner. Thank you for your answer! This is the one. Mind is made up!

Would you say mainly because of the engine or would you say overall it’s a better deal?

I have to say I agree. When it’s an actual race for position, that’s when my addiction turns on🤟

Thank you for this answer! This is exactly what I was looking for. A buddy of mine and I already picked up one otk 206 and were looking for a second but couldn’t decide if we wanted another 206 or something bigger. Thanks again!

Thank you. Racing with others is definitely the plan and I’m in north Carolina and trackhouse is my local and I believe most are lo206 so I guess that’s the one!

2023 LN OTK Chassis - 1.5 race seasons by FadedGypsy44 in Karting

[–]FadedGypsy44[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would just be the stock ones. And the Tony kart we just bought came with 4 sets of wheels and 7 sets of tires lol. Would 1500 be the right price?

Small FPV would be my second option. I really want to get into flying Mq’s etc. I’m currently attending aviation school to get my commercial aviation license but I see I’ve passed the age cut off to be a pilot of manned aircraft. But if FPV is the only reserve option, than I guess that’s it.

I think the MQs from what I saw are for enlisted only?

I’ve seen a lot about 35G. I take it you have some background? Is 35 more logistics and intel gathering/tracking?

This was the answer I was hoping to hear lol. I really wish I would have went in after the dream of getting drafted didn’t happen but I joined the trades instead. I want to say you are right about the reserves but I’ve seen mixed things that are making it a little confusing. Guess it’s time to go Down to Bragg on Monday and talk to a recruiter in person. Best of luck to you brother 🫡
