The DR Mini-20 Kart chassis is DR Kart's answer to the cadet or 'mini' racing market. With a precise design, adjustable front and rear ride heights, and varieties of axle ductility, the Mini 20 also features the Sniper SA-1 Linear camber/caster system makes infinite adjustment of the front spindles easy.
The flexible waist area of the chassis allows for a controlled, progressive grip profile from the front to rear as the kart transitions into corners. Clients have found this chassis requires minimal adjustment from factory settings to turn into a front-running, podium-contending performer week-in, and week-out.
The Mini 20 utilizes a factory resin seat created by IMAF, but also takes well to the NEK Z2 modulate seat. Available in a variety of sizes, this NEK seat creates additional comfort for the driver, allowing the pilot to focus on driving first, without compromising posture or comfort.
With the updated VEN Mini DR braking system, the kart decelerates rapidly in sharp corners, but maintains a progressive pedal feel for more advanced drivers. New to the Mini 20 chassis is the implementation of the 25mm front spindles, making for a more responsive front end vs. the Mini 18 model.

For shipping of the Mini 20 chassis, typically overland, LTL freight carrier is the ideal mode for timely and cost-effective kart shipments. Once ordered, typical shipment time is 5 days - 1.5 weeks depending on destination. Point Karting.com has found that shipping directly to your nearest central shipping hub for a carrier is best, as this eliminates additional costs to the buyer, and is more reliable than a commercial or private residential delivery. However, either option is something we can do upon coordination with you!
Each chassis is sold separately.
