Question for Bige

[joshstep1]

I was driving the buggy today and I nicked a corner and took the mud flap off. I was wondering if the mud flap you sell will fit on my Carbide?

[BuggyMaster]

They're pretty cheap from gokartsrus. I think $10.

[joshstep1]

I'll have to check them out. I've been to their site, but... yeah

[joshstep1]

Holy Crap! They have it for $5.60! Thanks!!!

[bige]

if you are talking about the fenders then yes the ones I have will fit.

[joshstep1]

Yes, that's what I was talking about. But, the design on it was different so I would have had to buy two of them so they would match. I found the exact fender that came with the my Carbide on gokartsrus.com for 5 dollars! That's awesome! Plus, I've already paid for it.

[bige]

maybe I should buy from them. asw charges me 20.00 for a fender

[tiremanmo75]

20$ is the price i saw too so i just used black duct tape you cant tell it was even broke and besides its always covered in mud

Well, it ripped the screws through the holes. Duct tape won't work in this situation.

[bige]

dang if I know, but front or rear fenders I pay 20.00 each for

[joshstep1]

Wow, I could get a whole set for that much. I think if I were you, I would start buying from that site I bought mine from.

one thing you guys need to be aware of. Most, if not all of these buggy parts are made in china. If it's priced cheap. it's the cheapest of the cheap quality stuff. you get what you pay for! These internet venders can pawn off some real junk.
In defense of your good find, Josh. These 5.00 fenders may possibily have been a manufactors overstock or a discontinued item. This vender struck a deal with some factory. If that's the case , then you got lucky. Or they can be some cheap knockoff item! You can take a real gamble with this stuff. Buying from a reputable vender will cost you few more bucks, but you are guaranted to receive the best quality, top of the line stuff that can be had. Plus, a part of the money you spend with one of our supporting venders goes to help pay for this site! Put your money where it will get the best for you and support your sport.

But the part I bought was an authentic ASW part.

Wasn't implying that ASW parts were bad, just sharing some internet buying advice in general. You did real good

[BuggyMaster]

ya they are original OEM pieces. I've bought several sets from them for various reasons. That's what I have on our Helix is a set of Carbide flaps and mount brackets.

Thanks. But it's been two days and my parts are still pending.

[joshstep1]

Yay! My fender got here today!

[peteeod]

josh, was it the right one? We had a fender casulty from a tree today and I found one on gokartsrus.com for 5.80. Is that the same you paid for yours? This is the part number:
13827: Fender - Front 6150/7150

[joshstep1]

That would be it. And yes it is the exact fender that came with it.

[peteeod]

Great, thanks for the quick reply. I will complete the order now.

the deal is

[joshstep1]

Oh yeah. It really is.

[BuggyMaster]

You are not likely to find those prices for anything other than the Carbide. Those are not standard fenders/mudflaps to anything else. (i.e. they're not for a hammerhead) Rumor has it you'll see those prices rise once the lead law is back in effect.

[joshstep1]

What's the lead law?
