    hi
    this kart is for sale (~$430$) including a G27 (location is Switzerland). Golden opportunity or wasted money? Could be a nice simulator...

    That's exactly how I have done my kart sim, using an old cart and a G27 logitech unit.
    Its all there running on different software but I want to try xsimulator. Just have to download some software and load it all up.

    Karts are fun to race in the real-world as well as simulators. One can learn a lot from racing one for a few years before stepping up to the big cars, especially setups, etc.

    It looks Terrific but it seems very heavy weight To make it more powerful motors to move
