The maintenance operations to be carried out on a kart are many. The rather complicated ones are best left to mechanics and expert personnel while others can be done independently, perhaps simply following proper guidlines and some good advice. These include the replacement of the crankcase bearings, even more so if an accessory such as the bearing extractor kit is used. Additionally, there are many small allies which can facilitate and optimize the kart drivers experience, from the LiPo battery bag to the shaped silicone tube which connects the water pump and the engine. Let us discover them all!

BEARING EXTRACTOR KIT

The maintenance of the kart engine, at least with regard to some components, is manageable even by those who do not have much experience with mechanics. For example, replacing bearings from the engine’s crankcase, following the guide of Dr. TKART can be done by anyone. This operation is now further facilitated by the arrival of the bearing puller, a kit designed to easily remove the bearing from the crankcase without using a hammer.

LIPO BATTERIES BAG

LiPo (lithium polymer) batteries are the best choice for electric start karts as they are lighter and have a longer life when compared to standard batteries. The issue, however, with LiPo batteries is that they can catch fire due to poor management during the charging phase, for example, in the event of excessive overloading of the cells. To make them safe, the essential accessory is the fireproof bag. Made of fiberglass, it is resistant to very high temperatures and explosions. Basically, the best place where to leave LiPo batteries when the kart is not being used.
