[QUOTE="e34_lover, post: 652685, member: 16259"] I find your comments insulting. If you must know, the chain broke because it was probably weak. I don't ride curbs cos its damn uncomfortable on a go kart. Furthermore there is no suspension to keep all tyres on the ground which means you have less grip going round the corner. You want to keep all four tires on the track so I am not dumb enough to go flying around on curbs. I might not be a fantastic driver in your eyes but presuming that I rode the curbs and the chain breaking because of my bad driving isn't very nice. I am not a "pro" like you but I believe that riding curbs kills momentum. Go karting is all about momentum is it not? Parts get old and they do fail. Does not necessarily mean someone did something. What makes you think the kart was not broken by a previous driver and I was unlucky in choosing that kart? Their reasoning for the chain breaking was that I was accelerating while my kart was sliding. They told me not to do this but I did not have the same issue with the replacement kart. I did not have the same problem in Australia either. My brother did make a mistake. I was allowed back onto the track on a new kart. I don't remember the specifics of the track as it was years ago but I almost never used the brakes. I think the only times were the first corners after the long straights. I think we were on the slower karts though. Gamenoob- I was taken off on the bike as well! [/QUOTE]
