…..March 2023……you’ve retired from Superkarts…..why?!!!! I thought, maybe you ‘ran’ other drivers(who can’t spanner) as part of your team, at a cost, obviously Rob. Cheers Ian

[@robertlloyd6814]

That motor looks a work of art! I’m surprised that you can still use 2 strokes and rules haven’t pushed you all to four strokes like the motor bikes? Good luck for the year Rob 👍

[@MyRob10]

I really appreciate your support Rob! Thank you mate! To answer your question the twin cylinder 250cc 2 stroke engines remain to be the fastest engine homologated for Superkarts. The 450cc 4 stroke is actually growing substantially over the years and is a very popular class, similar to that of the 250cc single engine class (similar speeds). I honestly can’t wait to show you my upcoming races in the twin! Hope you join me on here for the next one! 👍🔥 take care

[@AlanDoveKarting]

coz karting isn't full of weak people. 2-stroke for life. Also the move to 4-steokes on bikes was forced really by the major manufacturers. Karting is full of almost exclusively 2-stroke engine manufacturers. MX/SX would still be 2-stroke if it were up to competitors.

[@gregoreberhardt7453]

Finally somebody makes superkart vlogs, waiting for so long I have to say this is fantastic ! Good Luck, I´m looking forward to follow the journey. Cheers Mate

[@MyRob10]

I really appreciate it mate!! I’m racing at cadwell next week so hopefully another race vlog coming soon!!! Plus race onboard videos!!

[@jackking5567]

All I keep thinking is "I wonder what that'd be like in a motorcycle"!

[@MyRob10]

Probably incredible matey!!! And cadwell park of course!

One of the guys(I think builders name was Roland Sands)from the Discovery Show biker Build off put one in a bike. It was mostly for a TV show so not much follow up on performance.

Peaky?

[@stupidnitskie]

It is basically like 250cc twin 2-stroke motogp/sportbike from the past.

[@mxbarrow]

Really insightful, you seem to know your stuff. I wish you all the best in the new season and hope you can get the most out of the new engine!

A prediction? Prepare yourself for a very sore face after your first run in your new cart with this engine. Why? Your smile for the entire time - and you won’t be able to, as it’s said, ‘wipe it off your face’. Can’t imagine the speeds you’ll achieve! As others have already said, best wishes for your safety, success and fun during the season ahead! 🙌🏻

[@MyRob10]

Thank you mate!! I really appreciate it! We should be hitting around the 160mph mark so it’s pretty insane!! I’m doing a Superkart Q&A video next week so let me know if you have any questions for the video! 🔥🔥

[@pariodeusex]

why did you choose this engine over a PVP? Is it cheaper? I noticed the pvp has a autoblip on the upshift , i'm geussing the VM does not have this? Would be interesting to know what the rebuild hours/cost is vs the single cylinder 250, i'm guessing its shorter because its higher revving? I ran a single cylinder 200cc TKM back in the day on short tracks, the 16000rpm meant it had to be rebuilt every 8 hours of running! I hope you use your helmet cam for this season as the footage is mega! good luck for the season!

[@MyRob10]

Great question mate! The PVP is undoubtably a great engine. A few factors came into play as to why I chose VM. 1) was that the all the top runners in the division 1 Superkart class are on the VM engine. 2) I am apart of the Redspeed Team and my team mate is also on a VM so we can share data and support each other. 3) I am in close links with Harvey Motorsport who are the VM engine UK importer and I use their dyno services too. 4) spare parts are fully readily available and easily accessible. Taking all that into account the VM seemed the right package for me mate! Ah the helmet cam footage, I actually got blacked flagged after 1 lap at Donnington for having it on! However I will deffo try again! 😂💪🔥

[@tombradbury1328]

Love this mate! What is the top speed of that bad boy!

[@MyRob10]

About 160mph mate!! Absolutely rapid! For context around Oulton Park, lap record of a Porsche 911 turbo is 1:57 and lap record of these is 1:34 😱😱😱

How much would a twin cylinder kart cost to purchase both new and second hand? Where is a good source to find a twin cylinder kart for sale. Thanks in advance rob

[@MyRob10]

It really does vary! You can pay anything from 10K 2nd hand right up to 20K + for brand new! I would recommend either Anderson Karts or harvey motorsport!

Hi Rob, great vids, look forward to racing you in this years championship. 👍 I don’t suppose you could give CHRacing Carl Hulme a mention in your reports, I’ve also been trying to promote the behind the scenes eg, in the shed, desperate to get more subscribers. See you soon. 👍
