nice looking ride you have there

i seen one of those in yellow at sears the other day...they call it a scorpian

oh well this thing has padding a k&n airfilter and straightpipe exhaust and stiffer shocks on it right now so it can go about 43-45mph

i know this thing will hit a jump at an angle and thanks to the new suspension it can regain control and it doesnt wreck or flip

the only bad thing is the brakes suck im getting hydraulic brakes for it but right now i have absolutely no brakes whatsoever

i have hydrolic brakes and tyhey suck
its their the same as having no brakes

by **smgs92** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 6:13 pm

actually hydraulic brakes are 10x better when theyre working properly because they can apply way more force on the disk without u hitting the brakes hard

by **suprbean** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 7:09 pm

yea i think its typical for manco brakes to stink and not work

go with the hydraulic brakes...they'll stop ya for sure

by **smgs92** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 7:12 pm

i kno they suck jw should i just keep the original disk on when i buy the hydraulic brake kit or replace the disk also

by **suprbean** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 7:35 pm

i know someone on here put the hydraulic brakes on...cant quite remember who...but i thought they used the stock disc

search around for their post

by **smgs92** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 7:38 pm

ok i was just checking to make sure the different disk would maqke a difference prolly not but u never kno

by **nvmyengine** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 7:48 pm

Nice Kart! Looks like it's in pretty good shape yet.

Supr- he doesn't have a model with that brake system cuz it's not supposed to be on (an older) mid-line model kart (Manco does however on all their higher up models) but actuated (pressure) disc brakes should be fine on that Kart. If not, the pads are gone or the backing plates/actuator/caliper is not setup correctly. I'll guarantee you that I can set that Kart up so you can lock the brakes up at any speed (so then it's up to your tires to stop you).
:director:

CAUTION... Rubber being laid (by braking!)
