NEAT STUFF

BEN FRANKLIN WOULD’VE LOVED THIS
Electric go-karts have come a long, long way, and Lintec karts are no exception. This indoor and outdoor beauty (Adult single seater) can cruise tracks up to 45-MPH, and along with gear change simulation, creates a race realistic driving challenge. All Lintec karts include the “Park and Charge” system, too. For more info, see www.lintec-int.com or call Lintec in the UK at +44 (0) 1542-855-566 or Kart Ventures in the US at 319-455-0049. You can see them up close at the 2005 Kart Expo in Booth 803.

A HOLIDAY BUY
With the holidays right around the corner, it’s time to think about a new helmet; one from KBC. The TK-77 shown is manufactured from thermo-composite with a plush Nylex interior. The affordable bucket is, of course, Snell 2000 and DOT approved and is available in a dozen colors in sizes from XS to XXL. For info, contact KBC America at 818-526-7771 or online at www.kbchelmet.com.

IT’S GOOD STUFF, MAYNARD!
Maxima Racing Oils, manufacturers of Maxum 4 and ATV Premium 4-cycle oils, offers “Chain Wax” for your chains and cables. Available in a 13.5 oz spray, Chain Wax is fling resistant because of its special Paraffin base, hence its name.

A DANDY FROM HANDY!
You can store a ton of stuff in the ‘Rider’s Crib’ from Handy Industries. This unit comes with 6 ball bearing slide drawers, a handy drop shelf, 357 square inches of work space and moves easily on heavy-duty casters.

HAVE YOU TRIED IT YET?
That’s what the Gunk folks ask of you about their new L4 Liquid Wrench Foaming Penetrate and Lubricant. They believe your own independent test will prove L4 will penetrate, lube and protect better than the brand you now use. Pick up a spray can at your local hardware store, or home center. You can call 877-GO-4-GUNK or go onto the ‘net at www.gunk.com, too!
