@mittong are they motocross based?
we have these and olds villiers 210 karts and rotax twin cylinders, 2x125 cylinders in tandem.
the 125's and the 250cc were very unreliable, new piston and ring each meeting, new ring each race ideally or no power and pistons overheat when clearance gets to much so seize anyway!
I remember som blok saying £50-100,000 a year, not as bad as honda rs125-£20,000 for best cylinder/ engine and technician for 3 races to help 57bhp!!

ZIP Kart / BRC engines on this kart mate :)

Nope...just a normal leather suit. Akin to the old-school Motorbike suits.
If you're starting out, regardless of the brand, the most important thing is to have someone with EXPERIENCE helping you out. Any 2nd or 3rd hand kart, regardless of brand, is good to start with. ZIP Karts are very reliable chassis, but Stockman karts are also very popular and have enjoyed success.

Q ruimMMM da porra !!!
There are about $5k - 10k a year to keep going through a season - depends on how many races and where. Lots of racing & 2 day meets - about 10k...

These things are wicked!
Just wondering what you would recommend for an on board camera set-up?

Best way is to use a small hard drive camera with super steady shot, and to build a plastic clear box out of plexiglass (stuff used for boat windscreens) but make it 5mm too big in all dimensions and use the sponge from the inside of camera cases to remove the vibration. I cut the end off the box and use race tape to make a hinge, seal the thing up with race tape when the camera is inside. I use a camera where you can get a manual wired remote connector with a power on / off on steering wheel.

Superkarts are at Eastern Creek supporting the V8's this year. Worth a look if you are in Sydney...

It was his first race meeting at the creek and his first season in 250's.
