TM 80 or 125cc=$$. He must be running the wrong gears.I never killed my 125cc and i ran 120+MPH(130mph w/250cc).He must be running spirnt gears on a road course(sprint gears won't make it down a 1/4mile strip).

Kart racing is expensive! My engine cost 1K, but that's initial cost.
Rebuilds are not too bad, if you don't blow it up.
