    You have to put the 17 on it. No other number has any place on a restored DAP. Great video Des. We've loved every one of them so far!

    woow,that price is almost insane,here in italy the cost of not only the material but also the kart,due to the condition,for this rebuild with all the component that you have used it would have been no more than $1800, more than 7000$ is an insane price,the kart looking amazing tho

      Yeah I guess the build is 7600 less the 3000 but price. But yeah it’s up there for sure

    , probably want the seat 6mm below the chassis unless your running maximum low on the axle and stubs. just take one black spacer out

    I’m fairly new to karting and am wondering am I supposed to have play in my steering column? If not how do I fix that ? At 4:50 the red piece holding the column, I can move my column a tiny bit in that piece.

    • @PowerRepublic
      @PowerRepublic  Місяць тому

      Yeah nah not really. Try a new one as they are Cheap as. Otherwise bring the safety bush up under it tight to stop it moving
