Corrections/clarifications: -You can get parts for pretty much any kart online as long as the company isn't out of business and it's built after 2000 (there was a major change in kart rules and design between the 90's and the 00's). On that note, don't buy a kart made before 2000, it will not be competitive and you will never find parts. The only time you really need local parts suppliers is if you are going to race a season in the points and being out of the race for a day might ruin your season so you need parts IMMEDIATELY after a wreck or failure. Otherwise, like I said, getting parts online is fine and most of the most commonly worn parts (sprockets, chains, etc) are usually generic and interchangeable anyway. -The "206" in LO206 stands for 206cc, the displacement of the engine. Now, why they chose to go with 206cc when even most rental karts are at least 270cc is a mystery to me. The LO206 is also a little hopped up so it makes about 8.5 or so horsepower just like a 270cc standard Honda GX270 in a rental kart, but the GX270 does have a wider powerband. -In spite of being billed as "all equal" motors, LO206 does have a slight variance from the factory, but more importantly you can do head work on them and run them in a certain way that makes them faster. I've heard Kart City motors in particular are the fastest of these. They also run into problems with decent run time like the 2-strokes as the head of the LO206 will start to flex from heat cycling and it drastically reduces power. I like the spirit of the LO206, but IMO the execution is poor. I'd rather go with a KA100 for far more speed and not too much more cost or maintenance. -The reason the 100cc KA100/VLR tires last longer is because they also run Evinco Blues like the LO206. It's only slightly slower than a 125cc TAG on equal tires even though the peak power is only 2/3 due to how narrow of a range the 125cc TAG motors make peak power. -If anyone is curious, the name Touch and Go (TAG) refers to the electric start mechanism. In prior decades karts were usually direct drive and required a push start either by having someone push you in the pit or running and jumping in your kart. There were also external starter motors where a battery powered starter would be inserted into the crank of the engine and then removed once it started. -The biggest difference between the 100cc and 125cc karts is the tires run and that's the biggest reason for lap time differences. 100cc is much more budget friendly and much easier on your ribs. Once you switch to a 125cc with Evinco Reds you will need to be in good physical shape to handle the G forces as lateral grip gets ridiculous. Another important note is that Evinco Blues can stay competitive through several races, but Evinco Reds will drop off over the course of a single race day. If you aren't a millionaire that's happy to throw money away, I'd recommend going for the 100cc like a KA100 or VLR depending on which is most popular at your track. In all honesty, the Evinco Blues are the best balance of keeping speed through the corners but still being able to slide enough that you really need to drive it. Reds will also wear out your chassis faster as the increased grip makes it flex more and is more likely to bend it or mechanically work the frame until it stiffens up and won't handle well anymore (karts rely on flex to handle in place of traditional suspension and also to lift the inside tire in place of a differential like a car or most other 4 wheel vehicles). -Shifter horsepower varies based on which shifter motor you have and the tuning as it's usually not a sealed class. Stock Honda CR125 is usually regarded as about 36, but it depends on if you have a 99 or 01 cylinder and the work done to it. A euro-spec KZ2 is up to 50 HP. -On the chain lube, I highly recommend the Motul C2 or C4, especially if it's a 100cc or 125cc TAG as they run the smallest chains. Most other lubes I've used or seen others use just don't protect the chain and sprockets enough, but the C2/C4 do a great job lubricating and don't make as big of a mess as some lubes. Motul 2T is also the 2-stroke oil I'd recommend. I probably sound like a Motul salesman now, and I'm sure there are other good brands for either, but this has just been my experience and what I've been recommended by kart tuners and seasoned drivers. All in all, if you want to go significantly faster than rentals while still being cost-conscious, go with a 100cc 2-stroke class. More than fast enough to really feel fast, but doesn't cost you thousands to run it every year competitively.

DerekSiems some regions KA and TAG125 run same tires and the gap is pretty close. Frankly, I think that they should allow the tag100 classes to run around 10 lbs lighter (since there is no radiator, and fluids, etc required). This would bring the gap even closer but also make it more affordable and more simple maintenance.

@@FloppyxPancake Going to the track you plan to run and talking to employees is always the best way to go. Try to go on a weekday if you can as tracks are always less busy, or at least early on a weekend before the crowds show up (especially if the track has rentals, too). The overarching thing is also what your goal is. If you're trying to breed an F1 champion, they need to be in "kid karts" starting at about 5, but also keep in mind that to be a pro driver being a small body type is basically a requirement, so if you and/or your wife are both 6'+ with a stout build, odds are your kid won't even fit in a pro race car when he grows up. Furthermore, grooming a champion race driver and climbing the racing ladder is deep 6-figures expensive before sponsor money can be expected and very time consuming for the whole family as travel to national events takes a lot of work even if the money is there. Know what you're getting into if this is what you have in mind. If you just want to get him to learn driving young and take it more seriously as he gets older, try to find a rental track that has kid rentals for his age/height (minimum age/height varies by track). If fundamentals is all you're looking for, just getting seat time in a normal rental is the way to go, privately owned karts are much more expensive to own and run. The rule of thumb is that if it requires a full-face helmet, that's your faster karts, not the birthday party putt putts. If you're trying to make this a father/son bonding thing first and foremost, you could potentially run a used privately owned kart (CIK or competition is usually what they're called) with a Harbor Freight Predator motor and rental kart tires pretty cheap. He won't be able to race on that setup, but you can run laps for a pretty reasonable cost and it will give you a chance to spend time together working on the kart. If he really takes to it and the budget is there, you can always consider moving up to an actual competitive class later. Feel free to clarify or ask more questions.

You should try to look up Ken Engelking, he's 79 and still running karting league races and was actually race instructing until recently (left more due to issues with the company than needing to retire). Just keep up with exercise, Ken had a heart attack on track when he first started back a few years ago and needed something like a triple bypass heart surgery. Karting is great exercise and a lot of fun, but definitely check with your doctor and ease into it physically.

We had to ad led to it because I was too small. It was fun as I recall, good father, son time, If you can afford it.

I have been wanting to find a video like this for a long time. Great video and lots of really awesome info. Subscribed!

wow, you went from the very basic to one of the most advanced karts out there, must have been quite an experience

As a general guide, I would recommend a (good) second hand kart first and then as you have some race craft and experience (plenty of dings, off's and accidents) - 6 to 18 months, purchase a new kart (assuming a budget allows for it). Of course, if one doesn't have a budget for a new kart/frame, then one has to understand that running costs for karting is not cheap, replacement parts and tyres...

My current daily driver is an M550i with 525 HP and I drive it to the limit when I'm on back roads in safe areas. But I've only driven entry-level karts (rentals and one borrowed racing one). I'd prefer to buy new and am aware of the price tags. I'm concerned that I'll buy an entry-level kart and rapidly get used to, and perhaps bored with, the performance. Based on your video I'm drawn to the DD2. If I was just going to drive for fun I'd just go ahead and get one. (I saw the video of your first DD2 drive and, despite the cold track and tires it looked like fun.) But I want to make sure that my racing options remain open. In a typical senior or masters class, is a DD2 with paddle shifters OK, or would that require a different motor. Thanks again for your willingness to help! Sean

This was an excellent video. I just bought my first kart for my kids. Its nothing special but its a start. We don't have a track but i know some places i can take it and avoid the authorities. It will be a way for me to teach my kids how to drive. The best thing i ever did growing up was parking lot autocrosses and eventually racing at Bridgehampton Raceway. Unfortunately they killed the track. Really looking forward to getting my kids out there. Really great video man!!! Loved it.

Good video👍. Several years ago when I was first getting into karting I was so lost. I came from a motocross background where you can buy several magazines and learn a lot and go to shops on the weekends to learn as well. In karting, there really isn't any publications in the USA and most shops are closed on the weekends because they are at the track. It ended up being a slow and expensive process to learn it all. I'd also add that some areas still have a KPV/KT 100 class. This would be probably after the 206 class but under the KA/VLR 100 (aka TAG100) class. These motors are getting very affordable since the class in some regions has died out. Also some wise words to find out what classes are supported and popular in your area. No one likes to race in a class with 3 people. The biggest problem karting suffers from is that rules and what is legal by certain organizations. ALL promoters get money and/or kick backs of some sort to only run certain tires, fuel, motors, etc. so do your research. You don't want to buy a $3500 new TAG 125 motor if your area doesn't allow it. The same can be said regarding tires. It sucks even more when your area has 3-4 different organizations and they all run different equipment and that is compounded when you do practice days and you are switching tires back and forth, etc. if it weren't for everyone trying to pad their own pockets instead of the long term growth of karting, karting would be a much much more popular sport. But people just continue to eat there own and it's a bummer (unless you are ultra rich).

Coming from a Motocross background it was like second nature learning how to drive it and shift. If I had never done Motorsports I would have no clue what to do not to mention I wouldn't know how to handle the power. I remember when I first brought a 250 2 stroke I thought it was fast.

The 1 no fun part is I race Briggs Masters . Driver weight is 200 lbs. I weigh just a bit under 140. Got serious amount of lead all over the place plus . If kart runs ok it stays on the ground!

I just got into it. got a compkart covert 3.0 with a Rotax 125 max Evo. baptism by fire is an understatement. fractured 4 ribs because I had a cheap rib protector, absolutely no idea about how it even works. something blew in my engine last month, fuel started spraying out of exhaust blah blah blah. I managed to absolutely ruin it by not servicing. Biggest point to take away is to make sure you clean and service your kart regularly.

When i raced sprint karts in the 90s after years of putting up with an old frame, in the end i realized its better to buy a new frame from the start, i could make small adjustments and notice the difference which in an old frame doesn't make any difference, i raced competitively for the first time on the new frame, i should have raced in the Yamaha 100cc class because the fields are bigger and the drivers develop more skills to win as the racing is more competitive and you have more fun, after years of racing I realized the best drivers from the lower classes can compete up the front at any level and win, seen this happen many times, going faster means nothing, its only demonstrate how much money you have which normally does not correlate with one's skills.

Just one point to add to ur excellent video. Know the dry weight of the Kart + ur weight , including gear, and factor in for the class u choose to run in. U don’t want to be giving away 25 lb to ur competition in a Kart. Power to weight is critical to be competitive .

what do you mean? do you have to run ballast if you are lighter?

thats cool im 15 and ive been doing national races in panama which is a pretty hot country so I bought a new2018 $9,000 CRG with iame engine. CRG honestly is an incredible brand as well as the iame engine which is the x30 iame 125cc 2stroke engine.
