I noticed mention of a "Control Cadet 9 Kart" concept in the "Major Immediate operation priorities" page 10 in the KA annual report.
Does anyone know what this concept is and when it will be available? My son is in his first year of Cadet 9 with an older chassis/Comer. I was planning an upgrade after his first year so would like to know more about this initiative.

Chris, This was mentioned in 2014's WOSR, as below
“Control Kart” For Cadet 9 Competition
• There is a place and a need in Australian karting for a standardised (non-technically complex karting package) to be offered at Club level for beginners in the Cadet 9 competition bracket.
• It should be a standardised package including
o Chassis – control chassis,
o Engine – control engine,
o Axles – single control specification,
o Wheels - control,
o Sprockets – control specification and tooth count
• A choice of 2 or 3 that could be fixed for specified
Circuits
o Chain – control specification and length
o Brakes – control brakes
• A Control kart package for Cadet 9’s should be phased in over the 2016 and 2017 seasons with full implementation by the commencement of 2018.
I thought that this was all out the window now?
They brought in the Rok and also confirmed the Chassis size.
Seriously, let's just race :)
Did it also include a one make of chassis?
Thanks for the details Wayne,
Looks like my son will be in Cadet 12 before this is fully adopted. Wayne Zimmerman said:

Remember, this is the Annual report for the year ending 31 December 2014. So it is now 4 months out of date and if you have been around since the start of the year, there have been more things change since then that have stayed the same. I would have expected that the annual report would have been released some time in February, not the start of May.
