How about adding to that to reflect the "classic" karts almost never have independant suspension (or even any suspension). Brakes are almost never disc but the old band style brakes.

Another way might be the fact that most of the old-style go-karts were a pull-start and had a small Briggs engine on it. I had one when I was a kid and I wore that thing completely out! Great memories!
I guess we could call it non-suspension karts... that clears up a bit... though some of them do have suspension, if you could call it that. _________________ 2004 KPX Xterro: pumper carb, oil cooling, 10 gram rollers, Toy junkies pipe, uni

Because of the "Distinct" difference between a typical go kart and the 150 & 250cc buggies that are streaming the market now.
I describe my Talon DLX as a "QUAD BUGGIE".
I at least want to get away from the briggs type go kart many think of. _________________ 2005 Talon DLX 150 & GX 150

some classic karts have a front suspension. manco make them like that.
A Classic cart is this:
1wheeleddrive
turf tires
small rims
recoil start and kill switch
3.5 to 6.5 hp tiller engine
basic steering arm
thin roll bar
under 400lbs in most cases
safety whipper flag
low gearing
drum brakes
centrifical clutch
I had a 2 seater red one when I was 13. Looks like the green 1 pictured above. 5 HP Briggs and Stratton engine. I had fun on that go cart. _________________ 2 2004 Dazon Raider Classic 150cc Doubles (1 red and 1 blue) White Brother's Pipe and Uni Air Filters on both
