What is the least expensive to highest cost NEW roller you can buy?

 

Go kart to Late Model and manufacture what's the cost of everything including a set of tires and drive train, except the engine.

 

Gokart, Wedge, Mini Late, Mod Lite, 4cylinder, stock, emod, big block, late model, sprint, etc., ?

 

 

There's people making all of the above to sell for racing.  Not asking about build it yourself or put it together out of swap meet parts, asking about how much to go buy something with everything you need to put it on the track except the engine and support stuff and supplies.

 

Here's a brand new kart roller example from Phantom.  I added in extras and the cost came to $4000 and throw in one set of tires and rims makes it $4400.

I'll be ordering a brand new 270 micro sprint (rts chassis) soon. All the bells and whistles it's around $9000 minus motor. The micros seem the best bang for your buck although we are short on tracks in the area.

Ultramax karts are about 1900 to 2000 for chassis, add body, mount tires looking at about 3000 total or so. Higher end trick Olympic closer to 4000 to 4500 range. Depends on what features you want also can change that

I'm asking about today.  Today in areas of the country you can race karts once and sometimes twice every weekend for $1000 plus to win.  With big money shows being $2000, $5000, $10,000 and up.

 

I'm asking about if someone has the money how much would it cost to put various brand new rollers with a set of tires on the track, less engine?  After that hp cost and it's how fast do you want to go.  This question assumes those who can afford a brand new turn key factory roller can also afford what ever engine they want.

Austin Yarborough took home over 25,000 racing karts at in indoor race in Virginia over the weekend. 10,000 of that was probably tied up in tires.
