Your DD2 kart is a two-speed, so even original your kart works quite well on many tracks. From the factory, the Rotax DD2 engine is equipped with a so-called 35 gear ratio. This is the number of cogs on the front drive in the gearbox. Together these cogs should be 97 cogs so if you have 35 on the front you need 62 on the secondary.

35 is for fast tracks, and then for most tracks 34 is a good gear ratio. For rain driving we recommend 32 gearing.

Here you will find gear ratios for Rotax DD2, you need both a clutch drum and a secondary gear.

Which chassis brand should you choose?

In karting, there are many brands of karts, and quite a few brands are similar to each other as it is only the decal that differs. CRG is one of the biggest and oldest in the industry. It is manufactured in northern Italy in the village of Desenzano.

The tires on a kart are a consumable and for most people who drive without racing, they last a long time, you can drive once a week for a few months. Once you want to start racing a little, it puts higher demands on performance and normally you consume a set of tires at each race, then you use the slick tires to practice for the next race.

Rotax has its own tire brand called Mojo, which is a German-made tire with very high quality. The rubber compound that is for the DD2 class is called D5 and is a tire that has both long life and good performance.

If you want to be able to drive your kart in wet conditions, you need rain tires. Mojo has a rain tire designed specifically for the Rotax Max series. The rain tires provide a significantly better grip in the rain and are a must.

For the rain tires you need special rims because the rear tires on a Rotax DD2 kart are narrower than the rear tires used for the slicks.

Both the kart and the engine need regular inspection of bolts and wearing parts. If you do that check regularly, it is relatively carefree ownership.

If the engine is a high-revving 2-stroke engine, it needs service at intervals of between 20-50 hours depending on the level of ambition, etc. We usually recommend that you change the piston after about 20-25 hours and then do a major service at 40-50 hours when you change the connecting rod etc.

Service can be done in our workshop which has great knowledge and passion. Or you can contact one of the Authorized Rotax Service Centers that are located around Sweden. You will find a complete list here for Rotax Authorized Service Centers. https://rotaxmaxchallenge.se/ServiceCenter.aspx
