[@paulanthonynelson2733]

Cool vid mate, im gridded and ready for part 2 already. Hey Happy New Year Matty and good luck for the '19 Nationals series. Like these onboards, gets me so hyped to get racing again. I'm thinking Phillip Island and Superkarts. My girlfriend thinks your a bad influence bro.

[@True_Racer]

haha cheers man get out there

[@panagiotissachinis43]

"What is the meaning of this kerb" - I don't know man but if I was driving there that kerb would be part of the track for me :D

[@celsoneto9596]

It is in juniors we launch it over that curb every time

[@panagiotissachinis43]

@@celsoneto9596 Yeap there's a kerb like that in my local track. It's on a hairpin but everybody goes over it.

[@nickdeluna8681]

You have got a very interesting racing channel True Racer. I'm actually a rookie myself at a local race tack in Kentucky. I do love racing as well and keep it up for more exciting videos buddy. I will also subscribe your channel as well True Racer.

[@Henry-xy4fb]

Matt where are you!! If I may ask what is the intro song called hope to see you again soon

[@tonykartracer8032]

For the love of all things cute and cuddly in this world it's, 'Axle'.......NOT 'Axel'! Anyway, keep it up buddy. :)

[@robdonnelly6537]

kinda confused as to why u changed the axle in the first place?

[@alvaradcve]

Great vídeo. I have never raced a shifter kart before, not even a common 2 stroke model. I have a 21 HP 4 stroke kart maybe about 3 or 4 seconds slower than yours. Hopefully I can upgrade to a Parilla 175 cc, 49 HP shifter next year, let''s see. Keep the good work and sharing your videos. Best wishes from Brazil

[@True_Racer]

Cheers man best of luck

[@ryanpatrick2983]

Okay super bummed you were close to me and I had no idea!😮

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

Your thrust bearing retainers and collars weren’t tight enough. But the brake rotor obviously was tight enough, it didn’t move. Lol

[@True_Racer]

haha Facts

[@camymcleod]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaas finally I am. So exited to watch the video

[@racingace9959]

How did you take you kart or did you rent one?

[@sergioprieto6860]

nice to meet ur brother and nice come back

[@camymcleod]

Lol the curbs hate u

[@f0rdfalc0n46]

Enjoyed the vid. Thanks 👍

[@paulwolven8678]

I cant wait for part 2 Bro. I like the onboard cam action your capturing. Maybe we can see some front and rear views from your cart simultainously . Always have time for your race videos, so keep Em comming Brother.

[@DexNaquinRacing]

Yes it's finally here! Dude those kerbs are pretty fun in some places. Neat seeing some of your lines in comparison to some of mine there.

[@True_Racer]

cheers man my lines might have differed due to the amount of rubber being layed down

[@DexNaquinRacing]

@@True_Racer oh yeh I was there on Sunday and was on the track after with a rental and it was wild how much rubber was down.

[@franjasa]

excellent video!, happy new year FOR YOU!!

[@FART2767]

Holy crap. Thought you spat another chain at 13min 35sec. Great start. You've got the pace to get by #401. Keep the videos coming. Cheers mate.

[@True_Racer]

My engine was starting to give me issues

[@Rs4Chrisuk]

Good to see you back in the kart mate. When does ur season start and end? My season starts in Feb till November in the UK. Keep up the good work, I do enjoy ur blogs. 👍👍

[@True_Racer]

Our season is about the same this event is from earlier this year

[@PILOT_THOR]

cant wait for part 2. hope you have a happy new year 2019.

[@Sil2ntScott]

Good driving so far and good to here u have a new chassis

[@h.mushmann2351]

Lowering the front tire pressure really helps the kart rotate more mid corner. Last I was out we ran 10 psi front and rear. We're going to try 9 psi in the front. Tire pressure is essentially the spring rate adjustment on karts.

[@True_Racer]

Noted

[@jasonnoack2344]

How does someone get started in this?

[@True_Racer]

Look into your local kart track

[@budtate401]

How'd you get the equipment out there. You obviously flew. Great vid happy New year. You obviously are improving. Keep up the great work

[@True_Racer]

Cheers man thank. I Pit with Musgrave Racing Company (MRC) and they brought all my gear out

[@simantakdabhade4770]

Amazing man keep at it !!! First comment😀

[@simantakdabhade4770]

Got to say btw the track is real nice and flowing

[@True_Racer]

Cheers man more to come

[@JohnBoyDeere]

We enjoy your videos and travels, really do, but... early in this video I was taken back at the amount of hammering done on your racing machine. And that is what it is, a racing machine that needs to be wrenched on with finesse and little if any brute force. That is why bearings are in cassettes etc. Later on when your chain popped and ya blew up your brake rotor I was sadly not too surprised. Little dings and nicks on mating surfaces can bite a person in the arse way to easy. FWIW, I install a set of two piece collars on the outside of the rear axle bearings for extra lateral support to avoid axle creep, even with 206 karts. Blessings and safety and I too look forward to part two.

[@True_Racer]

Yes do speak the truth and that could have been a factor

[@JohnBoyDeere]

@@True_Racer Really enjoy your video's and realize the complexities of being the owner, driver, mechanic, financial officer etc., etc. Keep up the good vid's, continued safety and Happy New Year.

[@notq64]

If you flew there then how did you get your kart and equipment to the track? I enjoy watching but just curious.

[@True_Racer]

Musgrave Racing company (MRC) they brought all my gear out. I highly recommend them.

[@ashman198]

Why do they lean to the inside?

[@True_Racer]

its just like in the video games right

[@dkr8cing]

Badass man! Did you end up doing all the events? Can’t wait to see Vegas.

[@camymcleod]

Yeah same

[@gerryljung3904]

*axle ... Seriously, great vid, awesome content and editing. Keep on keeping on!

[@True_Racer]

cheers man thanks

[@allemn100]

Grub screws man! Happy new year

[@robcarter6558]

Good to see you back!! Keep them coming!

[@True_Racer]

Cheers man will do

[@robcarter6558]

One question, early on you had Alpinestars suit and last year looks like you switch to a Sparco. Any reason for the change or fit? I’m 6’2ish with a long torso and can’t find anything to fit right. Last one I ordered was the Sparco ks3 in large (barley too small) and then XL (felt like a wing suit). Had to send both back and can’t seem to get the right fit. Thanks hope to see you up in the northwestern area this year!

[@RyanS66]

Rob Carter Most suits use Euro sizes w, (140,150,160,44,46,48, etc.), which seem to be a little more precise than small, medium, large. Try seeing if one of those sizes fit you better

[@robcarter6558]

Ryan Shehan thanks I just got mime in a size 54. It’s a little tight but way better that the basic sizes. Thanks for the tip!

[@liamhygge]

Нормально

[@Checkyoursix77]

Happy new year!

[@technicallyspeaking4821]

Does anyone know what's the comparison between this and a kz2?

[@True_Racer]

KZ2 are about 2 sec a lap faster but much more expensive and tedious to maintain

[@technicallyspeaking4821]

@@True_Racer Ok thank you! Here we have kz2's but not cr125's so I was trying to get my bearings as to the speed of them :)

[@VRbible]

I like your stuff!

[@True_Racer]

Cheers man glad to hear

[@TheUrbanEpicure]

Wow, your brother knows NOTHING about karts. Sad.

[@True_Racer]

So does 99.9% of the world, glad I was able to show him a few things.
