Hi Andy , thanks for the reply but that one got sold a while back , Monty had one but I believe thats gone now . I wanted some info on the rear axle as I think there are 2 versions of brake disc assembly and fuel tank supports

Ah right

There's a few pics of a "1/3 scale kart" here; http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=28870&id=6456

Dunno if they're of any use

I only ever had Kyosho karts, never got into the biggies

Hi Andy , Thats the pics I've been looking at , It was Monty's at one time ,not sure if it still is ,I've emailed him anyway . The pic of the underside shows the brake disc assembly on the left of the axle . I have 2 of these Karts and they have a 'floating disc' on a hex shaped shaft , the disc is not fixed to the mount , just sandwiched in between the caliper, ,whereas the disc in the pics here show a circular mount for the disc rather like the axle bearing carriers, I've seen this type of disc mounting and others like mine on other Karts pictured on the web ,which leads me to believe some kind of redesign was done , probably the circular mount is the later model as the floating disc flaps about a bit and loses pressure on the linigs . I fab'd up an alu block to counter the disc flap under braking ,it acts as a 'slave 3rd pad' it works , but I'd like the other carrier too, cheers
