    you guys need to remember that this is pre - order sales.... once production is up and running, I'm sure prices will go down. He is a trying to start a business and raise capital to work with. I read somewhere that the target price for the complete kit was around $650 with shipping included. If you ask me, that's a pretty good deal on a brand new American made kart......

      Nick H you're looking at the highest reward level for sponsoring one of our action-adventure episodes. This kit is $1,545. Fireman Jim is right, we are trying to get it going so this is an investment as much as a purchase with a return of these vintage frames.

    • @KartFab
      @KartFab  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just curious, what would you think a good price is for this?

    • @Pdpawlak
      @Pdpawlak 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      KartFab 300. Even if that means remove the springs, put Chinese tires, etc.. make it as cheap as possible but have the other parts as an "upgraded" kit. Like others said, this is a basic looking cart with a premium price tag.

    • @KartFab
      @KartFab  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      interesting, no wonder go kart manufacturers went out of business. I guess people aren't even wiling to pay for the cost of materials, let alone the labor costs to build one of these ill be giving dennis some of the feedback as i do not price these out, just did the video for him in exchange for some machine work. I know it costs way more than $300 for them to make one.

    • @Pdpawlak
      @Pdpawlak 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      KartFab I'm sure it's a high quality frame, but also have to realize that most see these as kids toys. These are bought for kids and for 600 you can buy a used Honda 4 wheeler or a decked out Chinese kart with lights and shocks. Not a profitable market unless you get into parts like gopowersports. Just my observation... hope they make a comeback

    You could buy a high performance race kart for less I'm in the UK and I have a formula tkm I race that does 75mph and is the top end of performance in karting for roughly the same price, I can appreciate retro karts like f100 but this isn't worth it

    KartFab, for your off Road live axel go kart how much faster could you go if you upgraded to the 40 series tork converter?

    • @KartFab
      @KartFab  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Harry TheRandom you get a slightly higher top speed, but you accelerate much faster. The one wheel drive kart goes 25-30mph and the deluxe live axle goes 35 mph.

Have you guys ever seen one?
