I want one of these!! It's funny,these guys are in awe at how fast this little bugger can go.Kart

 

Thats Awesome....i Want One!!!!!!!

 

wow, that totally blows away my thread, which sadly is right above this one

 

thats amazing how much power one little rotor can put out....dear god...

 

awesome!

 

God damn thats fast.

I want a go kart now

 

too bad it costs 5000 dollars for the engine plus shipping.

 

50hp! for a ~200 lb kart is not a joke.

 

Yeah, that's def. fast!

 

Formula A karts are wild as hell tho. trust me i drive a rotax

whoa.... our rotors dont have those big wholes.... those must be hella light...

 

looks like a sachs 295cc rotor... i bet they bought the tooling off norton, who bought the tooling to produce these motors of sachs back in the late 70's or early 80s. The holes are for air/ fuel to pass through and cool the rotor, at least they were intended to when sachs made it. but the sachs version only made around 15-20 hp, this thing must be very refined. check out this thread, i am building a gokart with myself with a sachs km914 motor

holy, air cooled housing, BATMAN!

 

You know they made a 500hp 13B-REW powered go kart eh?

 

OMG! I love how the guy is praying before he takes the kart out! Priceless!

 

Wow, the smaller you make them the more they destroy piston engines.

 

lol. i know a guy that had a 125cc 2 stroke water cooled that made 30 hp that rotary was 50 cc and made 50 hp BYYAAAWWW!!!

 

the ax50 is a fromula A kart. The little 125cc 2 stroke is something like a rotax. They are a bit like comparing an rx7 to a 787b

At the bottom of the link there is a vid of the final laps of the JICA Formula A world champs





This one is mine

 

Is yours a rotary? I can't tell from the image. Thanks for the Karting vid,those are like mini Formula One cars!! Are the karts in the video 250cc shifter karts?

 

Mine is a rotax kart 2 stroke 125cc. creates 30ish hp 14400rpm The vid is of the formula A JICA karts. Direct drive ( single speed ). i think 250cc 2 stroke upto 50hp 22000rpm with 4 pot brakes ( only on rear )

The ax50 rotary engine is not allowed in the class i am about to compete in.
