I personally am looking for a good cheap cart that will take some beatings on occassion. I am interested to know about this Cobra 250B, however, I can not find any reviews about it. Personally, I am attracted to it because of the ground clearence under the cart and at the rear. Check out the link below for pics. I have never seen a cart rear end like this one and I am wondering if it would get hung up on rocks (the disc brakes and chain). This cart is dual chain driven (1 chain per swing arm), is this reliable? Or should I look for shaft driven cart? I don't even know who makes it (engine and cart). I do like the price and the weight of the cart (590 lbs net/ is this dry weight?). And I'm pretty sure it's China made. I was looking at the GK-D06 250cc, but I have heard some bad things that worry me about Roketa. Allthough the GK-D06 250cc sounds like it can be converted with a 800cc motor. I could be wrong.
The main purpose for this cart is for my wife and my daughter to trail with our 4 wheeling group. We have 4- 700cc quads 2-450cc quads 1- 400cc and 300cc quad 2- 250cc Karts: we trail ride most of the time and usually don't exceed speeds of 35mph. We travel to the mountains of NM and CO from TX and usually have to remove the lids of our airboxes in the mountains. In all honesty, we probably trail through more vigerous hills and rocks in TX than the mountains.
This has nothing to do with the review but details of a huge free place to ride near me:
Anyone been to the Canadian River I-27 East of Amarillo, TX? It's free and has over 20,000 accres of mud bogging, sand draggin, cliff climbimg, hill climbing, forest trails, river crossing, whoops and much more....oh and it's free! I live in Amarillo BTW so give me a shoot if you come this way. Free camping on the west side and some free camping on the east side of the highway. Go east down the river on the main road (should lead to old asphalt road) and it will lead you to more sand dunes and mountainess canyon terain. This area is called the meadows and I'm not sure if the State park charges for camping, I've never seen them there. Bring water and gas! Google Amarillo mud bogs to see when we have national events (10,000 people event).
I'd go with the GK-06 before the Cobra.
And I'm not really a fan of Roketa (well in fact I think they're a bunch of low rent lying scumbag/lowlife importers like SUNL), but I do think they did a decent job on the GK-06 (for the money).
Personally I wouldn't order anything from ExpressATV.
Be careful who you buy these Chinese karts from....there are alot of ripoff Chinese junk dealers out there who will take your money, lie to you, sell you JUNK and stiff you on the warranty and any post sale support.
ExpressATVs is a drop-shipper that has a BBB "F" rating....which means all they care about is the "money".
jbo u beat me to it if you were to go with that cart i would buy from awesomebuggy i have the gk13 i like it very nice locked rear end wit independent ask me any questions _________________ 06 joyner 250 sand viper,red metallic..blue clutch spring 17 gram sliders
Thanks for the BBB site and the Kart site guys. So basically, the "Cobra 250B" is the same as the Titan, just the people that are selling it suck? I watched the vids and I am amazed at what the Titan did. That is a little bit of an understatement of what trails we ride in my group. I was reading on the Titan and I wanted to know if the CN-250 Honda Helix clone engine is a good one and is there performance mods on it. And is it possible to do an engine swap on that Kart with let's say a crotch rocket 600cc motor (future plans). Also, The chains on the swing arms, anyone ever heard any problems with them? So who makes the Titan?
Is the Huricane 250 a Roketa too? It kind of sucks that the Hurricane does not have locking diff. I really liked how it looked but this one may not be for me as I climb alot of terain too.
that i would say is a down side of my titan a least it has a shaft from engine to trans and if its not lined up perfictaly right you get it i think that these karts are all roketa maby or there is no definat make _________________ 06 joyner 250 sand viper,red metallic..blue clutch spring 17 gram sliders
Taken many beatings and havnt had any problems. Broke a front spindle but should not have clipped that tree at about 30mph......
Parts are becoming more available for this model too as it seems to have become more popular as of late.
That is what I'm going to get. Hurrincane 250, same kart, different name. I'm buying from AwesomeBuggy.com...... free shipping and no sales tax since I'm out of state.
About the Titan..... Awesomebuggy said they are fed up with them and that they have done alot of warranty exchanges on the trannies. They told me flat out that they break and leak and will always be a consistant problem. They did not want me to buy one at all. I have to give awesombuggy their due, they are very honest and knowledgable to people. Thanks awesombuggy.
i have figured out how to stop the leak and well i guess you just gota baby it remember that gk-06 dosent have a locked rear end may get stuck easier _________________ 06 joyner 250 sand viper,red metallic..blue clutch spring 17 gram sliders
