We sell karts, engines, parts, safety gear, and related products, along with the services described below. We work to keep product descriptions, pricing, and availability accurate, but errors can occur, and items may sell out or be discontinued. We reserve the right to correct errors and to change prices, descriptions, and availability at any time without notice. Used and pre-owned items are sold in their described condition without warranty.
Placing an order is an offer to purchase. We may accept or decline any order, and we may cancel an order due to pricing errors, stock issues, or suspected fraud. Payment is processed securely through our payment provider; we do not store full payment-card details. You are responsible for any applicable taxes and fees.
We ship parts and gear by standard carriers and larger items such as karts by freight. Shipping and freight charges, timelines, and any deposit requirements will be communicated before your order is finalized. Title and risk of loss pass to you upon delivery to the carrier. Delivery timeframes are estimates and are not guaranteed.
Unless stated otherwise, returns may require prior authorization, must be in original condition, and certain items (such as special orders, custom builds, and used or clearance items) may be non-returnable. Refunds, when granted, are issued to the original payment method.
We offer services including engine building, chassis setup, installations, coaching, and trackside support. Service timelines are estimates and may vary based on parts availability, technician scheduling, and other factors. Quotes are estimates unless stated as fixed. You are responsible for accurate information about your equipment and for any manufacturer requirements affecting warranty.

Warning: Motorsports are dangerous. Racing should never be done on public roads. Racing should only be done in a controlled environment with proper safety precautions. Even with the latest in safety precautions there is an inherent danger and significant risk of personal injury or death involved with motorsports. Anyone participating in motorsports assumes this risk. Word Racing and their affiliates will not be responsible for any injuries or damages incurred from racing activities.
The “pit area” and paddock area at race events are potentially hazardous. Proper credentials and signed waivers are required for anyone entering the pit or paddock area. Word Racing and their affiliates will not be responsible for any injuries incurred. Please be alert to your surroundings.
Helmet & Safety Gear Warning: No helmet, or other protective gear sold on this site can protect against all possible impacts; serious injury or death could occur. The helmets and other protective gear are designed to offer added protection, but cannot guard against various bodily injuries. For maximum protection, all gear should be properly sized and fitted to the wearer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Fire Resistance: Nomex and other fire resistant materials are not fire proof. We recommend multiple layers of fire protection. Check your series rules for minimum requirements and SFI specs.
Spring Warning: Always wear eye protection when working with springs. Do not over-stretch springs or use the wrong size for the application.
Please Race Safe… Always wear a full set of protective gear, beware of your surroundings, inspect the track before driving. BE SMART – STAY FOCUSED.
