USA warehouse now open. Our USA warehouse is now open! Low cost shipping and an ever growing variety make ordering from the US warehouse even better value!
The TURNIGY 1:4 scale gokart is a real blast to drive, with it's low center of gravity and ultra sticky TruRubber* tyres which keep the kart turning sharply. A powerful full size servo is included with kart to keep the steering precise and quick, while the non differential rear tyres lay rubber on each corner!
The entire floor pan is made of 4mm Carbon fiber sheet with very little suspension travel at the rear giving the gokart very realistic handling.
You will need a 35A ESC, an inrunner motor around 3900Kv, a tansmitter and receiver and 2S LiPo battery.
Stickers are included, but the driver is unpainted so you can create your own race livery on the driver.
Or just check the picture above (3rd from left) and you will see what I'm talking about.
Or look up Kart Motor Mount.
I can't seem to upload the picture I took. :(
Gary you here? I took the motor mount off the kart and noticed that the motor (when mounted) was not mounting sqaurely. I took the motor off again and notoced that there was a "step" in the bottom part of the face plate. This is causing the motor to mount in a slight downward angle by a few degrees. This is not good! The spur to pinion meshing will be strained and cause binding and premature wear on both the spur and pinion gears. Please have the team correct this asap.

just a tip: I made with EVA and kart tires changed 1000%, does not rotate more frequently and walk with 3S was easy.
obs: i made front and rear with 63 mm (pulls very)

la vernice acrilica non va affatto bene ci vuole solo ed esclusivamente la verni per rc cioe non acrilica. che con gli urti non si sgretola o spacca saluti spero di essere stato di aiuto
Didn't the paint feel sticky while/after drying?
Also, acrylic and enamel "harden" when dry, seeing as the Stig is made of a pliable material, isn't there a tendency for paint cracking?

It depends on the pitch of spurr gear. Most likely it will be a 64 pitch. But you can put what ever pitch you want as long as that size spurr will fit the cart.
Yes its hell of a fast car i took it of from my revo and it was doing like 150 mph!!!! Jk like 80 around there but i have spare traxxas motors and i used those and its still pretty fast its the vxl system and i put a heavy torque servo on it for the wheels dont move that much when you reach high speeds hope this helped
I don't think a mamba monster would be practical for the kart. Watch the HK video and you will see that when he punches the 380 motor, it just spins around. He was on half throttle 90% of the time.
I was also thinking of the VXL 380 motor. Cauld you even make a decent run or is it just going crazy all the time?
How good are the stock tires? Would foams be better? I want to buy one primarily for scale performance, so I'm expecting it to handle literally like a go kart :)
I would have to say it depends what kind of surface you are running on. Personally I run foams on mine because I run on a pavement track. If you run on carpet then the stock rubber tires should handle good. it seems on a outdoor track where the temps get high it just melts the rubber and makes them slick unlike foam which will hook up. Hope this was helpful.
Are decals available for this cart?,,i have had a good look through spares but could not find decals?,,the new parts are blank so decals are required??.
I'm here to help mate ... : )
It would be very cool if the 540 could fit , but ....
Hobby King suggest the S2848 brushless inrunner ,
however take a look at the search tab on the left (Brushless Motors > Car Motors)
just to know about the specs and costs .
I have this cart and I say it is one of the best out there. It is a blast to drive and turnigy really nailed it with this one. I prefer foams on mine and it handles like a dream
I'm not being able to connect the servo not known how to may some one help please?
And I'm only being able to fix he motor with one drew ! How can I put the rest ?
on mine, the servo is not attached to the plastic shaft that is attached to the front steering. how did you insert the round plastic end of the shaft into the metal screw that is attached to the servo?
you should be able to pop it over the metal ball/ screw if thats what your talking about just be careful not to go crazy and break it because i broke one while servicing my kart
i have a hobbyking s2848 4370kv inrunner and a 60A car ESC and a lot of 3s 2200 mah batteries. If i install it all in this kit, will i be able to run it? Also i dont get it about the servo, it says kit but doesnt list a servo in the requirements. Anyways i would be gratefull if someone suggests a good servo for this kart, from hobbyking stock would be awesome
I'd rather cars, but anyway, why buy this one when the full model already has a motor, and is only $10.04 more? You need to buy a $21.02 motor for this one, so all up it costs you $10.98 more to buy this kit.
As much as I like the promise of assembling a kit, it's economically insane to buy this.
it looks like it may be a roller, but it says kit in the name so could also be a kit. Roller and Kit are not the same as rtr. Kit means you need to build it, Roller means it comes built but needs all the electrics. hope that helps
on mine, the servo is not attached to the plastic shaft that is attached to the front steering. how did you insert the round plastic end of the shaft into the metal screw that is attached to the servo?
I made some mods on this Go-Kart ... and indeed i have troubles ... i can't go straight forward any more because i put a 3650 motor with 10500 KV !!! The thing is like a rocket , when moving backwards . ( I will post some evidence ...) One more thing to mention is that the steering servo saver is a total failure as it broke without even an impact ...

Ok, first just place your order for one and get all the stuff they offer for it like the bec and lipoly get a radio from em too, these karts are going to blow you away, I just got mine running and a small test drive with the stock motor and it jams,,, I got the upgraded motor but wont be using untill I get this thing under control, I have a gyro to use if needed, but if you looking for something to make your neighbors wake up get one. way cool
