MINIBIKIN' AIN'T EAZY PODCAST • PIT PASS EDITION
Tillotson 212s are back. The Rascal GT just went sub-eight.
This week’s Pit Pass is packed with engine restocks, new black Mega Moto suspension kits, a Coleman front-brake fitment tip, Rascal GT testing at Yello Belly, and the fall mini bike and go-kart calendar.
WATCH ON YOUTUBE →THIS WEEK'S SHOW NOTES
A big week for builds, racers, and riders.
The Tillotson 212E and 212EE are back in stock, which puts complete go-kart and mini bike kits that depend on them back on the table. Whether you want a pull-start engine or key-start convenience, the 212 Hemi platform is ready for your next build.
We also got the new black Mega Moto 212 suspension kits live and moving. On the race side, the Chromoly Rascal GT frame got its Yello Belly test, and dropping roughly 10 pounds made a real difference as the crew worked toward eight-second passes in the 660.
For Coleman owners, we covered a particularly useful upgrade path: add front suspension, then run the compatible MB200/CT200U-EX hydraulic front brake kit for better stopping power. Check the fitment note below before you order.
