t2boats Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I like Hobbythek, several years ago I ordered the FG 4WD conversion kit for an FG Monster Beetle - not quite 2days later it was at my doorstep! Couldn't believe it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.K Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Seems perfect for a bit of skate park action John! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the vids they look and sound incredibly realistic. You'd swear they were real go carts. Best place to run one though would be on a real go cart track. If they do an 80% off sale I'll get one. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t2boats Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 They look great!! As you say they look so realistic, you'd swear it was a Junior Kart haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 So realistic, you'd be better paying a Karting course and having 20 lessons in a real one perhaps .... Sorry, not wanting to burst bubbles ... I love RC, but sometimes 'the real thing' is just as accessible'. Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be more fun. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rotax-max-go-kart-on-Dome-chassis-Go-kart-OTK-Tonykart-TKM-X30-/122286126724?hash=item1c78d23684:g:skIAAOSwoJZXRgBn John Edited January 1, 2017 by johninderby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Must admit, I used to know a lad that had a race go kart, he did used to race them, his main one was worth a lot and jesus I've never witnessed acceleration quite like it, in the flesh lol, seriously quick little thing, just in a car park mind you, not a proper surface either.

J.K Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I used to have a kart but gave it all up due to the sheer cost of running it. Transporting the thing, storage, engine rebuilds, tyres, fuel.....not to mention the cost of safety gear, licences etc. The real thing is a hella buzz but i'd still take the RC!

Serious stuff aside, Karts look great. Only problem is where to run them? Just like TC's - very limited unless you're a member of a club, or 'know a good quiet car park' somewhere. Al.

Mike1970 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 It's funny some of you should mention running them on a kart track. At Wombwell model car club near Barnsley (which uses part of a full size kart track), they run the Oz karts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
