Extreme Vintage Go Kart Kit

Extreme Vintage Go-Kart Kit with Tillotson 212E Hemi Pull-Start Engine

Classic vintage style with a complete off-road go-kart build package.

The Extreme Vintage Go-Kart Kit is our flagship single-seat off-road kart package. It is built around an extended American-made vintage-style frame inspired by the classic Manco American Express and manufactured in Texas.

This complete package includes the XL Vintage Go-Kart Frame, Tillotson 212E Hemi pull-start engine, 30 Series Torque Converter Kit, live-axle drivetrain, mechanical rear brake, steering, pedals, wheels, tires, seat, controls, and assembly hardware.

No welding is required because the frame arrives fully welded. Assembly, basic hand tools, mechanical knowledge, and proper test-fitting are required before riding.
