"is this still for sale if so what size is it?"

"Hi Ian, yes the Finals are fantastic, I quite enjoyed giving the cars away by random draw. I remember that day when Blake won the trip he was so happy, our son Marcus picked his name out. Thinking back we have given away 1 Hyundai and 8 Toyota…"

"Cheers Sabrina :) Was a great meeting !! and a great series. Blake was chuffed  - won a trip overseas and and an airbox who hoo !!      "

"I couldn't resist... it was 2008, here is a link to the photo's of the Leopard Final Shootout at Dubbo http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.381351928545036.104279.208382132508684&type=3"

"Yep Royce! At the Dubbo Finals 3years ago?  could be 4 The winner in heavy was pulling 17600 ( and I wondered why we were slow only just pulling 17 flat. (and cracked the chassis on the seat bracket and bottom stearing boss :( Since the green…"

"Thats right, When i got into karting i saw people starting RL's with external starter motors. This was around 2007. I had no idea they also reved that high with the past ignition style. IAME deffinately makes a tough engine! "

"I had more than 18months from my RL starter motor in restricted. If i am correct there was a faulty batch of starter motors supplied to IAME that were fitted to the X30's that were replaced by Remo. Perhaps your engine had one of…"

"Good on you Daniel  :) :)   IMO ?   The X30 is a superior motor (as you would expect it to be)   But the RL is  a good performer as well. If your new to the sport ( I mean anyon ! )and in training, the RL can be picked…"

"Adam, Why do you think the x30 struggles at Geelong Cheers Peter "

"OK. After mulling this over for a while, you are indeed correct and I concede. Its amazing what difference 1 little word makes; "The starter motor brushes are 100% MORE reliable..." = they last twice as long. "The starter…"

"So if the RL starter lasted for 3 race meets and the X30 lasted 6 meets its 100% more reliable ...yes? ...:) The RL starters got a bad reputation because we were all reving them to 17k and beyond. We also cracked a couple of chassis because of the…"

"I understand what you're saying. But to say the starter motor brushes are 100% more reliable, well then, they should not break at all. Thats all I meant. Perhaps the statement should be "The starter motor brushes are ALOT more…"

"Jeez john pretty intense hear, I have to support you here sabrina, I was one of the first to buy the x30 when it came out, and would say i had it for 18months and the starter was flawless, I sold the kart middway through 2011, and john you would…"

"I don't think you can use the experience from a second hand motor to criticise a motor. People sell stuff when its stuffed. You by a second hand motor its "second hand" usually butchered beyond belief or the yep its still real strong…"

""The starter motor brushes are 100% more reliable than the old Leopard RL"?????????????   I brought a 2nd hand X30 that had done 4 race meetings only. On the first day I took it out for a run, one of the brushes broke after my 3rd run…"
