Need help identifying this chassis

[Ananth Kota]

Hi,

I bought an R30 chassis some time ago and I'm preparing to race in one of the KT100 can classes.

The kart has 050030 R30 C-X stamped on the outer bearing bracket. I looked at the birel website on any info for this chassis number but couldnt find any. Searching for R30 C-X doesnt produce any results (as opposed to R30 C-y).

What I'd like to know is

1) whether tuning parts such as camber/caster pills, front bar, axles etc. are still available for this chassis.

2) is it a good chassis for someone who is just starting out and looking at karting as an avenue for getting inexpensive seat time, rather than having any hopes of being competitive. I'm 5'11" and 195 lbs BTW.

Here are some pics:

Kart looks brand new. YOu are missing the original hubs, but other than that the R 30 has been the base of the Birel fleet for recent years. You should have no trouble. Just mount your engine and start practice.

Let us know as you have issues. At this point seat time is more important than theory.

To answer your Questions..

Yes, caster/camber pills are available for this model karts... and ALL available parts are in inventory as spares or replacement - including all the brake components. You are in good hands. Congrats on your purchase - it looks like a brand new kart!

Thanks Garry and Marc, hope to meet you guys out there at the MRP track soon.

Also, guys, can I get a baseline setup for this chassis? Or do I just follow the R30 c-y setup? Which of these do I follow:

If you are talking RY30S1 with a 40mm axle and 6.0 YHC's I would start with 1040x3 F axle down, middle bearing tight, 100mm hubs set at 23 cm from the cassette to the end of the hub, side rail out, front bar in, spindles in the stock position with .5 degree caster out, 17mm spindles with 75 mm hubs set at 2 thick spacers wide.

RX30SE with a 40mm axle and 6.0 YHC's: 1040x3 F axle down, middle bearing tight, 100mm hubs set at 23 cm from the cassette to the end of the hub, side rail out, short front bar in, spindles in the stock position with 1.0 caster out, 17mm spindles with 75mm hubs set at 2 thick spacers wide.

R30CY with a 40mm axle and 6.0 YHC's: 1040x3 F axle, middle bearing tight, 100mm hubs set at 23 cm from the cassette to the end of the hub, front bar in, spindles in the middle, central pills, 17mm spindles with 75mm hubs set at 2 thick and one thin spacer wide.
