After someone purchases a go kart, the next question we always get is “Ok, so what else do I need?”.

We’ve compiled a list of all the things we recommend for your starter go kart toolbox. We have divided it into three categories: Go Kart Products, Go Kart Tools and Pit Space Comfort. 

This includes a few non-necessity items, but items that will make your go kart racing experience much more comfortable.

If you need help gathering spare parts for your go kart, send us a message with what type of kart you have and we can help you with the specifics to your go kart.
