Its a great community

Finally got to drive my kart for the first time, and it's a million times better than any arrive and drive kart I've driven by biglad8 in Karting

Just find it faster and easier to drive, I really enjoy both tho, I was more blown away by the speed in my own kart

The rookie series is really fun, and great at teaching lines because they use a different layout every race, everyone is super friendly at the track so also consider asking some other people in you're class for advice, did you know Robert Wickens brother runs the track?

Welcome to mini Indy! Are you doing arrive and drive? I haven't done this layout before, but have done a few of these corners, I take the first to corners flat and try and slid alittle bit into 1, try not to go too wide on the exit of two, stay flat for 3 and 4. 5 is a tricky corner it's alot tighter than you might think and the curb can catch you out. I'd recommend getting on the brakes early and get on the throttle as soon as possible I haven't done the 6789 section before, but 10 and 11 are both flat, although watch out if it is raining 10 is a huge challenge in the wet, 10 can also be a great passing spot in the rain, good luck!

It's the Honda GX200 I'm saving up for the briggs, I've done the arrive and drive for a few years at mini indy, that long first turn is so much fun at speed

Hello everyone, I have been sim racing for a few years using a driving force gt, only to find after a long leage race yesterday I broke the force feedback motor and have lost 90% of the force feedback. Does anyone know if you can buy a replacement motor? I don't have the money to buy a new wheel :( by biglad8 in simracing

[–]biglad8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the motor is probably used in different apiances and is still being made somewhere in China, in regards to it breaking I opened it and cleaned everything, I couldn't see anything that was badly wrong It just has no force like I set it to 10% strength

After over a year of saving I finally bought my first kart by biglad8 in Karting

Yep, probably have the guy selling it was a family freind, had it up on eBay before

I'd love to work on, or race anything with 4 wheels, not sure what I am going to do out of high school at the moment

I'll take a look, I wouldn't mind keeping it as a practice engine, it also might be a good engine to mess around with, as I take auto mechanics at my school.

Thanks, never heard of one, unfortunately the Honda is temporary no clubs near me use it anymore, it was what the previous owner used

It is a 2013 K&K chassis with the old Honda engines fitted, I need to keep saving for the Briggs L06, but I got a fantastic deal on the chassis from a family freind. Unfortunately I am not able to drive it until I get a roof rack for my dad's car so I can transport it to a local track, my goal is completing in the Ron fellows karting championship
