Hi Yulong,

I've got a pair of used Birel 180mm magnesium hubs that I'll sell for $75.
Also, an almost brand new set of Douglas M series 180 mm magnesium hubs that I'll sell for $150.
I'll be at the track on Saturday morning. My pit is immediately west of the Tech & Try A Kart buildings.

As for oil ...

Welcome to the club Ru!

Having broken 5 ribs last year racing in Briggs Masters, I'd suggest buying a good quality kart-specific rib vest. I thought my old one was good enough, until I realized that it wasn't. With the faster karts - VLR, Rotax & Shifter it becomes even more important.

The Try A ...

I was debating the same thing on which platform to use, XBOX, Playstation, PC but I'm in no way a gamer, so ...

I've used JakeDesigns out of the UK for years now and they're my preferred vendor. They have been great and much cheaper than DecalZone at the time.
We had them do the Try A Kart decals 7 or 8 years ago and they did a great job.

I hope that helps.

WD-40 actually works quite well as a stain/grease remover.
It's what my wife uses on my shirts when I spill...
The suits seem to come out of the washing machine quite clean.

Hi Kyle,

Great decision to join the Briggs Masters brigade!

Seats can be switched between all chassis; it's most important to find one that fits your physique and to have it properly fitted to the kart.
There should be a metal plate on the rear cross member which should identify the manufacturer ...

In the Briggs Masters going counter-clockwise I'm seeing 83 kph on my Mychron when I nail the final corner properly. As Phil mentioned, the more speed that you can carry through that corner will give you the best top end.
What class and gearing are you currently running?
