Looks like it would be fun, great idea, and great to see people making something from nothing, 25k, im sure its costing them alot to develop, will it be a success??? only time will tell.

Looks pretty cool.
I have sat in the prototype, and can suggest only that it is the coolest thing ever. It's cooler than Wall-E's esky (which is ALWAYS chockers with icy Carlton Colds). It's cooler than Seb Geritz's haircut (which I'm led to believe has been shortened, a terrible mistake). It's cooler than Fozzy's new Master Karting sticker kits by Glenn Powles Design, and THEY look fully awesome.
In short, I reckon it's going to be nuts.
And being good mates with Dean, I'm not in the least bit biased :-) ---
God I hope this gets somewhere, Im in one for sure! = D
Lovin the genital protection plate :-)
Cant imangine how well it will corner. It looks like it has a kart axle and that thing wouldnt flex much by the look of it.
im keen to give one a go.. looks like a load of fun and would produce some pretty good racing id suspect.
cant wait to see one in action
Josh, you don't need flex when you have suspension! V8 Supercars have a welded up diff, but they still turn :)
Ahh well you learn something new every day.
yeah but V8 supercars have two rear suspension components, this has only only the independant one.. how is it supposed to unload the inside wheel around a corner? im not saying it wont, they wouldnt go to all this effort for something that cant corner, but i am curious how it does? i suppose if its a superkart they dont need to unload the rear wheel like a sprint kart, the never slow down that much.
Well, while the truth of it is probably mostly that, like a superkart, the corner radii on full size tracks are so big the "unloading" won't be that important, in THEORY the car/kart could work just like a sprint kart... (ie, jack a wheel using weight transfer). (note, I said "weight transfer" and not "huge amounts of caster and scrub radius).
The rear end is quite stiff, and highly resistant to roll being a ladder bar setup, while the front end is softer, and has a fair bit of roll built into it. These things could, if deliberately set up that way, lift wheels MUCH more than a sprint kart. In practice, I don't think they'll need to and the roll-stiffness of the front end will be pretty high.
its awesome looks wayy better in "real life"
