I wouldn't say beware :) I'm only talking from my experience. My spares collection is "extensive" from ebay and picking up bits at the track, a pair of stubs with kingpins, bearings and spacers for £20. The installed base of Zips in Comers eclipses the P1s and arguably totals the entire Honda market.

Most other bits are standard Dartford Karting fair, sprocket carriers, axles, track rods etc.

I agree with Andy's comments about the wet in that a well set up Zip will absolutely "sing" and if Andy's surname begins with an H then they really are at the front of the front! (How are you getting on with that gear I gave you at PFI - want me to send some more over - I have something as similarly magic for Minis / Rotax!)

Admittedly , I'm yet to find a set up that works for us as well as in the dry, but in time it will come.

Most importantly just keep having fun
