Margay(not sure of speling is quite good and not outrageous) is a good chasis, depends on what kinds of tracks you'll be running, . Competetive carting is not cheap, parts were not designed to last. Depending on the length of race a clutch may only last afew practices and a race. Tires are around $60 each and don't last long at all.

SO did you get any battle scars from your flip or what? Take some pics and stuff.

I have been karting from time to time and its alot of fun for sure. But i like homemade karts the best, the kind you would weld together at home and drive on your street for fun, not competitive.

Ive seen some pretty rediculous motors powering home-made-karts that you wouldnt believe, althought the chassis were a bit bigger than the one in that LAKC photo.
