I have to agree with bear on this one. I know a few kart racers, and they all run the smallest, lightest chromo flat frames available for the dirt. I could have picked a slightly used one for $250 complete w/o engine, which I should have, in hindsight. I like the innovation idea, but the truth is, the CVT is still the way to go for max speed and launch. Like JD said, the 8hp the GY6 puts out is not enough to really race with, although it spins a lot faster than an industrial engine.
