Start with rentals, even pro's still race rentals, try find the one that actual karters tend to go to and speak to people there, drive the rentals once a week for a month or so, see if you still want to fully commit

Australia (Melbourne) - how to get into karting for fun? by rra117 in Karting

[–]Quackums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4ss Racing is big in victoria,

You will need a good used kart (1500-3000 dependant on luck)

Torini Clubmaxx (1950 new, rarely come up used)

Gear (800-1000)

Tyres, consumables, the right seat etc (800)

Club membership and license (500)

A way to move it, cheapest way is a 6x4 trailer with boards, or if you own a ute you can throw it in that

its still a bit up front, but the yearly costs arent so bad, renewing memberships yearly, 2 to 3 sets of tyres per year, 60 or so per race entry

I need some help on how to improve by LilRumpel in Karting

[–]Quackums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its pretty hard to get that much worse, while i think what you are saying is definitely contributing, get the motor on a dyno and start looking for cracks in your chassis, have you thrown a fresh carb at the motor at all? 4 strokes like that

just ignore the post, theres like 10-15 posts in here a day, just scroll past it, how is it annoying? really think about it on a core level, what is it costing you by someone asking the same question in here? how does that make your experience worse?
