  • I wanted to buy a newer kart and picked this one up from my friend who was selling his soon after buying it. I've driven a Sodi Kart the 6 years I've been karting and decided to change things up and went with an OTK Lando Norris kart. This is my first drive in it and initial thoughts on it. I also show you and update on the new track construction at Dallas Karting Complex.

    My first kart was bad, but I learnt from it. 2nd one straight onto the podium first meeting with it. There be 60+ since then. Now I drive what I'm paid to drive that the team has. Racing this weekend, first 6 hour enduro (sprint kart chassis), I'll find out what it is at Practise on Saturday, race it Sunday. Following weekend in a different class, with a different team, will work it out Raceday when I meet the team, drivers and the kart. I'm quick at picking it all up, regardless of class, series or team. Generally learn a kart and new track within 5 laps now, but been playing this game a long time.

    Been following your channel, especially because my son (12yo) drives a SODI Sigma RS kart. He also has an older Tonykart EVK. For practice, he actually alternates between both. His first comment was about the brakes on the Tonykart (which is the same as your LN). His comments pretty much are similar to yours. All the best with the LN, please throw a follow up with your preference. We are looking to replace the Tonykart with the new RS3 chassis which has been doing well in Europe.

    A real question since I havent followed the scene but have 2 old karts myself: Why is the steering Ackerman angle so extreme nowadays that the outer wheel barely turns, and is it better to have the wheels so much offset from the knuckle (more lift for rear tyre?)? My faster kart is a 1995 Swiss Hutless Vitess and the front is way more narrow but the thing still is super quick. Are the modern chassis styles just made to conform to a rule or just better for speed on the track? Cheers :)

    Hey congrats on the new CAR I JUST GOT ONE TOO!
    i LOVE THE NEW TRACK AT #DKC I switched to 60cc to 100cc KA 100 JR and i'm only 11! This will be my last race in my cdat kart before I sell it! and nice looking kart. The kart I got was from the #CROSSLINKCOMPITISHEN kart from the owner SIX FREE FUIL CANS for my kart and so as some tyers and a big box for my tools. Karting is fun but in some ways to much fun!

      @Tobias Cat I've raced karts for almost 50 years. It's morphed from a sport about driving and building & tuning engines .. into a sport about driving and changing tires, LOT'S of tires. It's sad IMO.. the older harder tires were fun to drive on, lasted a whole season!!.. and didn't beat the hell outta ya with major G-Force turns.

      @@IllegalAlienRacing I have two Alfano’s and I absolutely love them. The battery life is insane. I just charged one that heald its charge for 2 years before needing its first charge. Only minor glitch is when you first get one, you have to figure out the distance multiplier or your MPH on track will be all messed up. Its easy to adjust, its just that most don’t realize it and think there unit is broken. All in all, I’ve had really good luck with the Alfano 6.
