thanks, i should be fine.

I dont even own a kart but its my 15th birthday today and my dad says he is going to bid 'till the end' on a 6 race old 2011 CRG Dark Knight.

I think that is homologated

but im just getting some background info on rotax and general karting so I dont feel useless when setting up my kart

Yes that is fine, also this is what the forum is about. I am happy to help in whatever I know, others know a lot more than me but if i can help just let me know.

no the 2011 crg dark knight is not an homologated kart this is completly fine! for anything except kf3 kf2 and kz2 there is NO homologation needed for uk rotax

[RossB]

nobody probably cares...

but here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CRG-dark-Knight-2011-2011-125-rotax-engine-/130676603599?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Other_Vehicle_Parts_Accessories_ET&hash=item1e6ceebacf#ht_867wt_1396

thats the kart im pretty sure im getting

I had a prokart before but I know nothing about rotax at all haha.
Can either of you check it out and just make sure it looks OK? i know you cant really tell if the chassis is bent or not but it looks ok.

[RossB]

..oh and I know it will probably reach 3K

[ntc2008]

yeah looks pretty good

note though you will need to remove the front brakes for snr max bonus is you can then sell them and get some money back

[newbiecrg]

Looks tidy, that is as much as I can see. I dont know the UK Rotax rules so cannot comment on that but the kart looks fine too me.

yeah i know, how much are they worth? about £200?

..and we are trying to work a deal for the van he has listed aswell

Just to point out that is a senior rotax which is 16+. If your looking to race it you will have to wait till your 16. Might also want to check your local club will allow you to use it. I know my local clubs rules state that you cannot use a kart outwith your own class, i.e cadets cannot run juniors etc. How strict they would be on that, I'm not too sure but I gather it's possibly an insurance issue.

i will be racing at warden law who are non MSA, and they let me race prokart so im sure they will be OK with rotax, and if not im fine just testing for a year

to race msa rotax you will have to wait 8 months-you can start racing rotax in the calendar year in which you turn 16......

i know, i dont mind because if i do MSA ever, it will be super 1 because i live really far away from any MSA tracks so to do a club championship would be too much effort.
