They are selling SunL buggies and calling them "Talons" in what I assume is an attempt to trick people into thinking they are buying a Carter machine. Talk about shady sales tactics. One member here has already ordered from them but they haven't charged his CC yet. I hope he's able to cancel the sale. Here's a link to the buggies: http://www.gokartsusa.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=342 See these threads. http://www.gokartsrus.com/go-kart_forum/viewtopic.php?t=1903&postdays=0&postord er=asc&start=15 http://www.buggynews.com/viewtopic.php?t=7200 I'm sure (the real) Carter would be pretty upset at someone riding on their good name and selling SunL pieces of junk. I wonder if Carter can do anything to stop this?

That's definitely a SUNL in all these pictures. http://www.gokartsusa.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=490 You can buy that same kart for $1399 + plus shipping from ScooterSlime in Dallas TX.

I have crap like that. I emailed them back with the sales receipt and requested that they cancel my order. I will put a stop payment on the transaction on Monrday morning first thing. They are in California so I'll have a 3 hour head start on them if they choose to process it then. I did notice that they DO have CARTER Talons listed but both of them are noted as "Discontinued" yet the ones they ARE selling they omit the "Carter" and just call them Talons....
