Tips for transponder care

All rechargeable racing transponder of this type should be fully charged and allowed to run down at least once per month. This will extend the life of the battery. Do not over-charge. Once the charging light has changed from flashing red to solid green it should be removed from charging to avoid over-charging.

KARTING is fun affordable motor sport for everyone!

People of all ages can enjoy karting with children as young as seven competing behind the wheel.

Karting teaches these children, both boys and girls, basic driving skills well before they are able to obtain their road licence.

Karting is the world's most affordable form of motor sport.

There are over 90 clubs affiliated with the Australian Karting Association.

Clubs are located right across Australia in both metropolitan and regional centres. Joining an AKA club will give you access to that club’s circuit for practice, as well as allowing you to participate in any club championship, social events, working bees and other club activities.
