Pretty damn fun. 70mph capable. They don't have the top end of a shifter kart, but man did they have torque. Really easy to throttle steer.

This is Summit Point Kart located within Summit Point Raceway. The other karts in the video are the 12hp versions. The 250 is 30hp.

I love the way a sodi handles, but having one that doesn't bog down when you go a little beyond grip looks like fun. I'm with nate, when are we going?

Yea the torque really helped out with the bogging......but if this thing was a sequential it would be so much faster. At the end of that long straightaway it was still accelerating pretty hard.
