You saved my butt, on not ordering the wrong size. I originally ordered the mini and I called right back to upgrade to mid after seeing the comparison. I would have been so disappointed and so would he.
Gosh, thank you for this video! I have been searching for the right size go kart for my 8, 5, and 2yr old that we can get enjoyment out of for many years to come. You just answered all my concerns in under 10mins! I'll surely be ordering upgraded components from you guys whe we pick up our kart! Thanks
This is a much-needed video and glad you put it up. I wish I would’ve found you guys before I bought my last go cart. We ended up after much Internet research, ordering a midsize go kart from another company. I found the entire process difficult, and we had problems with our go cart once it arrived. Also found from a couple different companies when you call and try to ask questions they both acted like I was dumb and inconveniencing them. if you guys make buying a go cart as easy as it looks based on your video then you guys are definitely doing something that’s needed! Good job!
Hey Jody thanks for the comment! We are a family owned and run business and our motto is “Get back to fun.” We truly strive for that to be the case with our customers. If you ever need a kart or parts in the future please visit us on our website. Gokartmasters.com
Glad it was helpful! We get phone calls multiple time per week asking about the different karts for each age and size. It helps to show real kids instead of just giving a recommendation based on our opinion.
@@SilverBulletNation on the mini and mid sizes, the XRS has no battery or electric start or lights. It’s a very basic kart, bench seats, smaller suspension, etc. the XRX is like the premium electric start model with bucket seats, headlights, horn, etc. then you can also get a reverse model which is an XRX-R. In the full size karts it’s a little different. The 200 XRS is the base model but still has electric start, reverse and lights. It has steel rims and a basic steering wheel. The 200 XRX has a sport steering wheel, LED light bar, aluminum rims. The 300 XRS is essentially the same as the 200 but with a larger engine. And then the 300 XRX is a whole different kart with independent rear suspension.
Hi I was wondering in your video with lily on the mini is the seat and pedals all the way back? I have read that the pedal to back seat distance is 27 thru 34 inches . Is that correct? I'm looking to by a kart my kids can both drive. my 6yr old who is 45 inches and 12yr old who is 59 inches. Any recommendations on karts they could both drive?
I highly doubt your 12 year old would fit in a mini. Our 12 year old is only a couple inches taller and if she sits in the mini, her knees and shins hit the frame and it makes it difficult to move her feet on the pedals. The mid size is going to be a great fit for your 12 year old and is something most adults can drive when necessary. The 6 year may have a harder time reaching in the mid but with a bit of ingenuity you can make it work. You will have many years of growing room for both of them. I’ve seen customers purchase pedal extenders, attach wood blocks to the pedals, weld a new frame under the seats to make it slide further forward, and even put cushions behind their back to give them a little boost.
Go Kart Master Kim is 5’4” and she drives comfortably with the sets all the way back and knees just slightly bent. Any taller than that, and the knees would probably start to hit the steering wheel or roll cage.
It depends on what you’re comfortable with. Someone a bit shorter could sit on the front edge of the seat and be able to reach the pedals. They just wouldn’t be firmly seated against the back of the bucket seat. Also consider the skills of the ride. A kid much smaller than shown in the video may not quite be ready to handle this size kart, but then again some kids are tiny but highly skilled!
Just about the shortest person that can easily drive the 200 xrx is about 5’0”. Our 12 year old can just barely reach to drive it. About 5’2” is a good height to be comfortable driving and not have to stretch out to reach. We have seen customers fabricate custom seat frame to make the seat go closer than that!
Do this go carts have titles? I just bought one exactly like this in very bad condition but complete, I’m asking before I start buying parts to get it repaired. Thanks!!
The previous owner didn’t gave me any paperwork and he said he bought it a a flea market like that, so that means that I can’t ride it on National parks or anywhere?
@@ramongonzalez2909 Well your best bet is probably getting a bonded title... from the license and theft bureau in your county/state if they will even do it.
I’m not familiar with the Carbide brand so I can’t say if any of our harnesses will work. If you can find a dealer, they may have access but it’s not something we have access to. Hopefully you can find something that works.
On a Stock kart your looking at mid twenties with a Full grown adult driving. They’ll hit 30 mph under certain circumstances. With performance modifications you can increase that a little.
We have more videos coming soon of all the karts!! We are still learning all the filing and editing so production is a bit slow. Stick around though, and you’ll see plenty of videos on the mids! Thanks!!
I'm looking towards the 200, with that being said,I have a couple of questions.. First,I ain't no Rich man to buy me a Polaris or Honda side by side... How capable of a machine are the 200 adult karts ? Would you be comfortable taking them to someplace like the Hatfield and McCoy trails, going up steeper hills,over rough terrain ECT. ? And of course straight outta the box without any real modification other than fooling with the governor... Also... When you purchase these, do they come with a certificate of origin that I can take to the DMV so that I can get it titled and be able to get my off-road permits for it. (Ohio) I've had to have a Coleman mini bike titled if I wanted to take it on to public lands..
They are pretty capable out of the box. If your doing a lot of hills I would recommend buying a lighter weight kit for the primary clutch (search gy6 weight kit on TH-cam). Supper east to install and it gives you a lot more low end. It will take your top end speed down about 5 mph but definitely worth doing for a lot of hills. It does come with a certificate of origin as well.

@@GoKartMastersAcademy Thank you, I will!
Thank you so much for showing your children this really helped me a lot! I thought I was too tall for it.
Glad I could help!
Helped a bunch mate thanks
Glad it helped!
Great review man you helped alot
Thanks! We tried to answer all the questions that we would have as parents trying to buy a kart.
This was very helpful for understanding what I need for my family.
Please let us know if we can help with anything else!
Holy cow these things are pricey
They hold their value for a very long time!
Thanks to Lilly for showing us a tall kid in there.
Thank you for the video! I was trying to figure out what would be good for the kids and I. #AZWS

Awesome video. What is the difference between the XRX and XRS? Thanks !

OK great thanks for the reply I was leaning towards the mid but was unsure . Thanks
What would be the tallest kid size to go into the mid size without bending the knees too much?
Go Kart Master Kim is 5’4” and she drives comfortably with the sets all the way back and knees just slightly bent. Any taller than that, and the knees would probably start to hit the steering wheel or roll cage.
So on the mid sized, would you say that the minimum height to reach the pedals well would be 50" or any shorter at all?
It depends on what you’re comfortable with. Someone a bit shorter could sit on the front edge of the seat and be able to reach the pedals. They just wouldn’t be firmly seated against the back of the bucket seat. Also consider the skills of the ride.

Thanks for watching. Let us know if you have questions!

Can you push the seat further front on the 200 xrx??
Just about the shortest person that can easily drive the 200 xrx is about 5’0”. Our 12 year old can just barely reach to drive it. About 5’2” is a good height to be comfortable driving and not have to stretch out to reach. We have seen customers fabricate custom seat frame to make the seat go closer than that!
@@GoKartMastersAcademy so is that a yes or no
@@yusufyakubu8403 in this video, when he slides the seat forward, that is as far as it will go.
@@GoKartMastersAcademy thank you very much sir.
Do this go carts have titles? I just bought one exactly like this in very bad condition but complete, I’m asking before I start buying parts to get it repaired. Thanks!!
They do originally come with a certificate of origin which allows you to register with national parks, as well as some city or state governments.
The previous owner didn’t gave me any paperwork and he said he bought it a a flea market like that, so that means that I can’t ride it on National parks or anywhere?

Good video
Thanks for watching!
I need a gy6 wire harness for a carbide go kart any ideas??
I’m not familiar with the Carbide brand so I can’t say if any of our harnesses will work. If you can find a dealer, they may have access but it’s not something we have access to. Hopefully you can find something that works.
I got a zircon go cart 150cc
I didn’t think they made those anymore. Is yours an old one?
Location
@@ahmondeboxley2950 we are just outside of Sioux Falls, South Dakota but we sell our go karts online at GoKartMasters.com!
how many mph can you get the 200 up to?
On a Stock kart your looking at mid twenties with a Full grown adult driving. They’ll hit 30 mph under certain circumstances. With performance modifications you can increase that a little.
I love your videos and your content but can You please do more videos of the mid go kart? I really appreciate it and I Will subscribe to You.
We have more videos coming soon of all the karts!! We are still learning all the filing and editing so production is a bit slow. Stick around though, and you’ll see plenty of videos on the mids! Thanks!!
@@GoKartMastersAcademy youre welcome
I'm looking towards the 200, with that being said,I have a couple of questions..
First,I ain't no Rich man to buy me a Polaris or Honda side by side...
How capable of a machine are the 200 adult karts ? Would you be comfortable taking them to someplace like the Hatfield and McCoy trails, going up steeper hills,over rough terrain ECT. ? And of course straight outta the box without any real modification other than fooling with the governor...
Also... When you purchase these, do they come with a certificate of origin that I can take to the DMV so that I can get it titled and be able to get my off-road permits for it. (Ohio) I've had to have a Coleman mini bike titled if I wanted to take it on to public lands..
They are pretty capable out of the box. If your doing a lot of hills I would recommend buying a lighter weight kit for the primary clutch (search gy6 weight kit on TH-cam). Supper east to install and it gives you a lot more low end. It will take your top end speed down about 5 mph but definitely worth doing for a lot of hills. It does come with a certificate of origin as well.
How tall is Scott??
Scott is 5’10”.
I’m 5’11. Would a midsize be comfortable?
You could physically get into, but you wouldn't want to drive it as your own everyday kart.
