Phoenix karts

How old is it James?The Phoenix karts where developed by Col Fink, he happens to be the person who runs kartbook!He also run's a karting business in Melbourne called K-Racer, there are bits and pieces for that kart there, If there's something you need for that kart that isn't listed there you should still be able to contact him via mobile or email and he'll supply it for you and what not.There was an actual phoenix website, though it looks like Col's taken that website down since I last looked, I've just done a quick google myself.  There where some useful PDF files on that site to help guide you in setup, such as seat position, rear track, etc etc, I'll have a look on my comp and see if I've still got them, though since owning that kart we have since had to replace our computer, so there's a good chance the files I had for it are on the old computer which is now long gone.In the meantime though, there is a kartbook group for Phoenix: http://kartbook.ning.com/xn/detail/2879226:Group:14828?xg_source=ac..., you can have a prowl through that and see what you can find.Hope that helpsEDIT:Just had a look for any phoenix related PDF's, haven't got anything for it now I'm afraid :(, definitely worth emailing Col if you end up buying that kart and it isn't handling right and your stumped as to which direction you go in setup, there are even setup vid's on that k-racer website to help guide you along as well.

I can still supply you with almost any part you might need for that kart, and definitely I can still help you with setup. IF the price is right, go for it :)

what happened to the old phoenix karts website col? I went to print out some set up sheets etc and it was gone.

I bought a new phoenix stealth chassis in 2005. It performed well, the only problem was the plate that mounts the master cylinder would break and it constantly needed wheel alignments. 2 years Iater i bought a new phoenix stratos chassis which needed welding after 4 race meetings and thereafter. I sold it for rock bottom dollar as nobody would buy a second hand phoenix without a free welder included. I left the sport (for a few years) broke and disappointed because of it. My advice is get something else!

I had great success with the Phoenix brand of karts. This may sound stupid but the Phoenix kart made me a better driver, as I was driving poor karts in the past that were very hard to setup. The Phoenix responded very well to setup changes giving me a 'feel' for the effects of changes that I made. I still deeply regret selling the first Phoenix kart I owned, it was brilliant.
I still have the setup sheets and all associated pdf files on my computer I can email through to you if you need.

Hi Steve,
I have a Phoenix chassis and would be grateful if you could email me any info you have on Phoenix karts.
