CPR Kart-Beat Update

Pit Stop Season is Upon Us.
We’ve been flat out on the throttle all year — orders flying out the door faster than a kart on a freshly swept track — and somehow, Easter has snuck up on us like a backmarker in the wet.
Time to give the crew a well-earned breather. We’re pulling into the pits for a few days, so scroll down to check our Easter opening hours before you try to flag us down.

COLOUR AXLE COMPONENT NEWS

The global supply grid is throwing up some serious red flags. US tariffs have been hitting our factory partners hard — some have shut up shop entirely, others have dialled back production — and our colour axle range has copped the worst of it.
If you’ve got your heart set on Blue, Red, or Gold components, now’s the time to nail your qualifying lap and order whatever we have left in stock. Once they’re gone, they may be gone for good.
The good news? Black and Silver aren’t going anywhere — those two will keep rolling off the line as usual, so you’re safe to plan ahead with either of those.
Don’t get caught at the back of the grid. Grab your colours while you can.

NEW SPROCKET GUARDS

Your chain and sprocket have enough enemies out there. Don’t let the ground be one of them.

Our new sprocket guards sit proud of your sprocket diameter, meaning they take the hit before your drivetrain does. No more chains launching themselves off your transmission and turning your kart’s internals into a very costly game of cat’s cradle — wrapping around chassis components, threatening your engine, and generally ruining your day at the worst possible moment.

Small price. Big insurance policy.

Fitting couldn’t be simpler — one piece either side of your existing sprocket hub, swap in the included nuts and bolts, and you’re back on the grid. No drama, no special tools, no excuses.

Available in three sizes to suit most sprockets – click the sizes to find them in the store:

Protect the parts that keep you moving. Your transmission will thank you — probably not out loud, but you’ll know.


Gift Vouchers

Pit Lane Pit-Stop Required

Some of our older gift vouchers took a wrong turn during the migration to our new site. If your code isn’t crossing the finish line at checkout, don’t retire from the race — contact us.

We’ve still got access to the old garage and can retrieve your voucher faster than a tyre change. We’ll have you back on track with a fresh code before you can say “green flag.”


Don’t forget — jump online and check out the store to make sure you’ve got everything you need to maintain your kart or smash out that project before the weekend!


CLIENT PROJECTS

GOT SOMETHING TO SHOW OFF?

Finished a build using CPR parts? We want to see it.

Send us your photos along with a quick write-up of what you did and why — we’d love to feature your project in a future newsletter and share it with the CPR community.


SAME DAY DISPATCH

Same-Day Dispatch — Still Our Promise

Order before the cut-off, and your gear ships the same day. It’s a big claim, but getting parts to you before race day is what we’re built for. I’ve dedicated the last two hours of every working day to making sure orders get out the door — so if I’m not answering the phone during that window, it’s because we’re flat out in the pits. Leave a message and I’ll call you back as soon as we’re clear.

If you’ve bought from us before, you already know the drill — we’re here to help everyday Australians get out on the track. But we’re growing the range all the time, so come check out the new site and see if we can help you again today.

Go on — surely you’ve got a couple of minutes for some fun?

Cheers, Paul Jones Managing Director
