Taking it apart

One good way of understanding the monster that you are working with is to open it up, get your hands dirty and taking things out. The situation that found us undertaking this operation were a set of stationary wheels and a clanging noise.

This is where the cluch it located. Open the cover to the housing, and you will find 3 sets of a pin, spring and shoe. These will pivot outwards to make contact with the fly wheel that will eventually move your axel and wheels. Our problem was that the retaining clipcould no longer fit on the pin. The result of hitting the brake while still accelerating no doubt


The 5 plastic gears of the Rotax engine.

OB Relaunch

It's been some time since my last post.
Much has been afoot .
Some time was taken off to relook at our product line, and i must say that i am very excited with the new products that we will be offering. The entire range has been redesigned and the quality has been upgraded. Suits offered now come with certification. Better quality at competitive prices. We hope that what we do will generate more interest and help build up the karting scene that has been underground for too long now.

At the same time, my friends and i have been looking more into the kart. Investigating what makes and how the kart works. A lot of the mystery is lost but the 2 stroke engine isn't quite the enigma that it used to be. I will be posting more about this in subsequent posts.

In the same time, some efforts at trying to secure a place in Singapore to kart have fizzled out. There just doesn't seem to be enough support. There are many who tinker with the idea but like a revolution, we need a critical mass that will sustain our presence and thus bargaining power.

It may seem like an uphill task but, just a few years ago, who would have thought that there would be a sizable and accessible skateboard park right in the middle of the city?
