"I received this kit from my father 5 years ago for christmas. We put it together in just a couple hours, it was a very easy assembly and almost everything fit good. The frame is really meant for a kid, not a teenager, so i extended the frame by 1', which was a huge improvement. The cheap parts of the frame would be the tie rods, which are bending on me a lot, and the engine mount, which is fairly weak and the welds actually cracked on me, if you have a welder i suggest reinforcing the mounts with some angle iron. The last thing i have had major problems with is chain adjustment, the motor mount is slotted, but not enough. For the longest time i could never get the right chain tension, so i finally extended the slots by about 2", which helped quite a bit.
Overall, i would not recommend this to a friend because of the price, for the cost of just this rolling chassis, i could build a much bigger and better kart, and still have money left over to put into a sled or motorcycle engine."
