Hello, I'm trying to find a nitro Go-Kart. The only one I've seen so far is on ebay. If anyone can check it out with me, I would appreciate it.
One problem is available parts ?

Do any of you know where to get information on RC Go-Karts ?

I also want to research 1/4 scale or smaller sprint cars. Any advise on brands, sites ect., will also be appreciated.

Thank you,
427HISS

at first i thought that pic was real, then i thought it was a real nitro car, then i saw the couch as a comparison

That kart looks custom.
As far as sprinters...

Both are electric, they don't turn my crank. I need the power & sound of nitro or gas !

Then I'm afraid that you're going to be dissapointed.

Are you saying I'm @hit out of luck, nobody makes them ?

I've never seen one that's not electric. Sorry.

If you're willing to give a lot of work and money, you might be able to convert one to nitro.

That's possible.

Here ya go....

We need more of those!

What do you guys think ?

.10 motor (for a 1/4 scale) ?
Rigid suspension ? (but I believe the 1/3 scale is also rigid)
No radio/electronics/starter (although it states it has a recoil starter, so....) ?
Are all the parts plastic, including the frame ?

$530 ?

Compared to the other kart on ebay ? (photo on my 1st post)

Which is a better kart ?

I appreciate the info guys.

The thing is that even both karts are no longer made, I still think you'll have better luck getting spares for the Kyosho. However, if you are crafty and can make your own parts, the Go 'N Play kart may be a better deal.
Also keep in mind that a 1/4 or 1/3 scale kart still isn't very big. Probably about the same size as the typical 1/10th scale ST, if I remember correctly.

I know Kyosho made one 1/5 scale I believe

Great video & looks like fun. I emailed the owner for information. I love how the driver moves with the steering wheel. lol !
Thanks.

i found something cheaper

http://www.rc-junkies.net/toyfair/th...s.php?album=37

RCUSEE- you said cheaper, did you find any prices ?
I can't see clearly what the web-site is ?
Is Carson Model Sport the brand or just a racing team ?
I searched Carson but it's a German company. I wonder if they have a USA dealer ?

On what I assume is the dealer's list, if you click on "DICKIE-TAMIYA", near the bottom of the page is quotes this- New! English CARSON-MODEL SPORT catalogue. 160 pages of facts and figures. N° 909036

But I don't see anything to show where ?

Looks cool !
Help !!

Carson is a German company. Excellent quality, but it's products are hard to find and when you can find them, they're extremely expensive.

With the infomation that RCUSEE replied with, "I found something cheaper", I thought I had found my Kart ? Maybe he's jerking my chain for fun. lol !

Do you have anymore information ?
Cost ?
Size ?
Dealer ?
ect....

I called a teck person at Tamiya. Like you said, it's a Carson product, not made by Tamiya.
I would still like to get a hold of Carson, just don't know how ?

size is 1:4
cost will be around 125€ i guess, if you have to import maybe around 200$ or less

in germany every third rc driver has a carson, they are great starter cars , i had one too
to the guy who said carson is expensive, no its not
but the cars you see arent produced by carson they only put their name on it... maybe youll be lucky enough to find the original if there is, for cheap

Garden trucking is the only place I know of that has carson products.

Take a look and say that it isn't expensive.

im not talking about trucks... im talking about nitro rcs... and this site is the worst ever, i cant even read what im clicking.

just mulitply the prices with 1,4

General- you still on live ? I don't see anything about Carson or RC products ?

RCUSEE- I know what your talking about. I can't read German. I may have to give up, getting frustrated ! [:@]

Also RCUSEE, what is the price of the "first Remm Kart 2008 RTR, in American dollars ?

This message below is a guy (assume from Germany) about the cost in American dollars.

"i guess its somewhere around 150-200$ its not yet in the stores, atleast i couldnt find one"

$200 for that Kart ? I must be understanding.
