Typically, a kart consists of a chassis, engine, gear, seats, and four wheels. In comparison to common cars, there is no suspension and differential in karts. Hence, it is extremely important for chassis to be flexible in order to avoid damages while turning in the tight road bends.

Depending on weather conditions, different types of chassis are used in karts. In dry and hot weather, chassis shall be rigid. While under humid or rainy conditions, it is better to install flexible chassis to ensure better cohesion of a race car with a track.
