I Bought a New Kart and Switched Brands!

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 son is loving his he picked up from Edwin!

The track is very slick a lot of sliding around

Those Lando Norris Karts definitely look nice. Wonder if it will make you any faster 🤔😅

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.

bet that will be fun on the south track. i can't wait for that one. still can't believe you got a LN.

The LN4 Kart is amazing, you got a good one.

Hi Illegal, I really like your Lando kart. Good luck with your racing this year. We have to go another 4 months before we can hit the tracks here.

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 :)

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.

My Father has a 1960 Simplex with a 5 HP West Bend Engine .. maybe I was 7-8 years old never drove it on a track .. Just in a Cul-de-sac ect.. It's loud seemed like a thrill to me ..

If you had to have only one kart what set up would you go with? Enjoy your channel I’m getting back into karting after 20 years your videos have me pumped….🤙🏼

It looks so nice ive been debating buying a LN Kart to replace one of my OTK Alonso chassis

[nashguy]

Good looking Kart. I like Blue and Yellow so I'M a fan!!

[JonathanWestcott]

New track looks slick as ice but that’s to be expected. It will take some time to gain rubber.

GTSY BACK AGAIN..CONGRATULATIONS ON NEW KART

[bearrikstong]

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!

[Littlebitofeverything]

Just asking but is it close to a mini rok cadet?

[boatymcboatface]

K100, are they similar to old Yamaha KT100?

[keithelkins]

Great video, keep posting you do very good job. I am wondering what cable use as I am not familiar with a cable that would cost 100 dollars. I have had some throttle issues on my son's go-kart and maybe this is a solution.
