Depends on the place. Doesnt sound like much, but 9 HP is quite a bit really, when your not used to being so exposed and sitting 3 inches off the floor :lol:. | |

when cornering make sure you shift your weight to the outside wheel to assist grip! | |

It the gokarts are automatic, or only have one gear, when you go into corners hit the break without taking yuor foot off the throttle - it keeps the revs up so they don't bog down when leaving corners.. Unhealthy for the karts, but okay if you don't own them =p | |

If you've used proper karts (including some decent indoor ones), then you HAVE to brake! :P | |

as already said, you have to stay smooth. and also there aren't usually many corners where you need to brake, so just take foot off the pedal and carry the corner speed. | |

Just stay smooth, brake before corners and accelerate out. So many idiots just hit the corner too hard and spin :) | |

Braking is for poofs :thumbs: I usually go flat out and ease off before corners. | |

they corner alot harder than you would think... but its difficult to re-gain your line if you loose the back end...! | |
