I'm looking to buy a off-road kart very soon. I have looked at every website I can think of for info. I was first going to get a Carter kart with a 10-11hp engine. Then I saw the Manco karts which are adult size and have 10" of ground clearence which I really like but it only has a 10hp engine. I found a 2004 Dazon 150 Raider 2-seater for $1,900. It has a performance air box and the carb. was re-jeted with a hop-up kit. Looks to be in good shape. Was riden by the guys daughters. I don't know what type of things can go wrong with these buggies. I went to a local shop to see a new one in person, very cool but with a $3,100 price tag the used one is looking better. I the dealer also showed me a Sahara 150 for $2,600 which looks almost indentical to the Dazon with the exception of a different control panel on the dash, fenders, a tow hitch, a bimini top, a different rack on the back and a different air box with a snorkel. The dealer said they are both made by the same company, who every that is. Is that true? Do they have the same engine? Will they take the same after market parts? Is one better that the other? I want something my 11 & 14 year olds can ride safely but something with some punch for me. I want something easy to maintain and trouble free. Please post your imput, I need to buy soon!

 

As long as he's willing to work on the Dazon, go for it.

 

I have a Carter Talon DLX 150IIR and love it. I do think allot of these high end Go-Karts look like they do use allot of the same parts on them so I too am hoping to locate some upgrade kits so all the parts should fit. If there isn't anybody making hop up kits for these karts they should be! There are allot of guys like me looking im sure. I think my moter is a Honda GY6 but I cant tell for sure. This might be the moter that 150cc karts are useing. Good luck on finding a go-kart, Carter Brothers make a great Go-Kart but I had to pay close to the 3 grand!
