Yea, Yamaha karts (5sp) cost around 3-5k.
I honestly plan on buying one for the future. That shit is maaad tight 
Also, I would have soo gotten into the whole R/C scene… but as a youngster … i feel as if it’s a bit played out (for me). I like toys that I can ride in lol.
I pussied out and bought the “put it together yourself” models instead:o
