Presumably the chassis last as long as a Honda engine then.

Have you tried the Rotax/Vega tires by chance? I'm on the fence about buying a new set of tires for races this year.

Im a lo206 / bridgestone driver, no experience with 2strokes or any other tires.

He's not joking. The chassis last about a year and turn to garbage​ and get all bent up.

Hence me buying used am29 birels and not thinking about new chassis ever.

Teammate of mine flipped an arrow, or a comet eagle, i think theyre just rebrands, at 50 mph thru a hay bale and kart was perfectly fine, although he broke his hand.

Their pretty popular here among the high rollers but they have a reputation for being pretty forgiving when they are new. Kart dealer always says if you really want to learn then don't buy a Tonykart.

I have a pre-bankruptcy PCR and the thing is a loving tank. It's from like 2007 and you really gotta drive the poo poo out of it to get it to work. Saw an Arrows shifter get into an accident that tore the control arm and wheel off another kart on a standing start and the Arrows was totally fine, those things look like they could survive a bomb hit.

Ill tryto get u some chassis info maybe, my mechanic pushed a pcr kart to national champ in TaG a couple times, ill ask him if you got any questions.

The only thing I melt down about is changing tires. But then again there's something slightly sketchy about putting 60psi through a tire to make it seat on a bent rim and using your foot in place of a tire cage.

Get a loving tire cage, ive heard of a lot more psi to stretch tires with no issues though.

Pretty hosed for Saturday's kart race. All my pre-season running so far has been on "near-corded" tires, I'm about a second and a half off the midfield pace, and my engine is still down on power. Going to need to Button this one.

Beg somebody for used tires, you dont seem cunty enough to have every driver you race with hate you.

Will they even let you use the old tires? Mine runs mandatory tires, either way sooomebody'll throw you a bone if your tires are that close. Can't fix your engine though.
