    Hi Red.
    I have Kalì with a Rotax SenMax like your's and saw your video a couple of days ago when you went testing by yourself without a mechanic.
    I too would like to be able to do that but I am too afraid to ruin the setup, chassis etc even though I know some things from seeing my team's mechanic work on the kart.
    Do you have any advice for me to be able to be more independent from your team in regards to testing or any videos you watched with this same purpose?
    Kind Regards Red, keep up the great videos. I hope you make more vids about your race weekends, I enjoy them a lot.

My goal is just to learn driving, setup and the mechanical side so i can be my sons crew chief later. Do you have any tips on what class of kart i should buy for myself? Also what age would you suggest i start getting my son some seat time ? Thanks in advance !

      In your case go for a Senior Rotax Max kart.
      Get an OTK chassis from 2020 or newer and an EVO engine
      Just try and have fun, you will learn a lot by just doing it and trying a bunch of stuff.

    • @slinpozz7171

      @slinpozz7171 thx I've seen people saying it gives you about 1-2more hp and people say it does nothing and is a way for rotax to take more money from us

    • @slinpozz7171
      @slinpozz7171 Před 3 měsíci

      yep it´s true that it gives more horsepower, especially in corner exits it´s pretty fast but it is not faster than the old cylinder. and more hp is not faster every time. in terms of maximum straightline speed the old one is definetly faster. our engine tuner confirmed that also. so at the moment the old one is for 100 percent faster. probably arount midseason the new one will be faster but that is also not sure in terms of tuning how this will handle. no one is sure about this. and i would recommend you, if you want to buy one, talk with an engine tuner or wait till midseason, bc around midseason it is sure if they are faster or not. and it is not worth it buying one at the moment.

      My son is 13 and wants to start karting. These are the options that I found. 1. Start "rental" karting at an indoor track , many have a racing academy which will teach you the basics and run championship events so you can get experience. 2. Find an outdoor karting track, many have karting race clubs attached to them. You can get outdoor experience using rental karts (faster than indoor karts). Go to the club races at the track (not the rental races) and talk to people in the paddock about karting clubs and "how to get started"

      @user-em8iz7th9q Před 3 měsíci +3

      With a budget like that it's hard to race even in Rotax (the cheapest category where I also race). I recommend you race in Rental Karting and "invest" in a lot of practice and doing a lot of races. You can also put forward a dossier with your racing records to send to companies and attract sponsors.
      Racing in 2 stroke karting is hard with as a new kart is probably around 7-8k. 4 stroke, apart from rental, I have no idea about.

    • @niekl.5346
      @niekl.5346 Před 3 měsíci

      I would recommend a rental karting championship, by budget is 1.5K-3K depending on how much i earn. I just started karting, so I don’t know a lot about it. But at least in my country (the Netherlands) we have formula karting, where you have different levels/classes, if you had 6K a year i would recommend the normal championship and endurance championship (you do need a teammate for endurance). This would cost €1300 for a full season of the normal championship and €2700 per team in endurance racing. This doesn’t include travel, food and if you need it a hotel.
