Product Description
Perfect Go Kart for the whole Family- fits almost everyone!
The Trailmaster Mid XRX-R go kart is the perfect go kart for families looking for some outdoor fun. This little kart will haul everyone from a 6 year old that's tall enough to reach the pedals all the way up to mom and dad (if they're under 6 feet). This go kart is built for making memories!
The 7.0 hp engine is a mass produced Chinese small engine and boasts the same power and reliability as brands like Honda. The top speed is 24 mph but it can be governed down to 8mph easily.
This machine can handle off-road trails and obstacles like dirt, gravel, rough trails, corn fields, and most hills. The reverse gear makes it easy to maneuver and stops mom and dad storm having to drag it out of the bushes (and let's face it- we all know the kids will end up in the bushes at some point).
It's perfect for taking the kids trail riding or just playing around the farm. Owning a go kart is an excellent opportunity for kids to learn about engines, preventive maintenance, and basic repairs. Whether you homeschool or just want to teach your kids practical life skills, a go kart is a great place to start.
Work while you work, play while you play!
But it's not just for fun! The Mid XRX-R can work too. Homestead kids can load up tools and supplies to feed the farm animals, haul things around, and get chores done.
Our Go Kart Masters family is made up of Scott, Kim, and their 5 kids. Everyone in our crew (ages 5-35) enjoys the mid sized kart. We've put it to work hauling sticks to build forts for our outdoor reading club, taking buckets of feed out to the pasture-raised chickens, hauling groceries up from the truck, and more. We know you will love this kart because we do!
If you've already been looking at the Mid XRX, this kart is simply the reverse model. It's the exact same frame and engine, but adds a simple automatic shifting system with forward, neutral, reverse. And if you want reverse PLUS some cool cosmetic features, check out the Blazer 200R- it's the same kart but looks more like a side-by-side with added plastics and more colorful features.
Easy, affordable maintenance- and we'll walk you through it.
The Mid XRX is super easy to maintain. Parts are easily accessible and affordable. We keep everything right here on our shelves (except the roll cages and engines, which are easy to get from Trailmaster). We'll help you find exactly what you need.
And with our pre-packed maintenance kits and YouTube tutorials, you can be a go kart master too! Just grab the maintenance kit that matches your model, click the link, and we will teach you how to do each process, step by step, with simple terms. All you need are some basic hand tools and a can-do attitude. No need to spend a lot of time or money worrying about a shop.

We have 3 trailmaster go karts and several dirt bikes. The Mid XRXR is the family favorite. We can all ride it. It does donuts, jumps, tackles hills and more. Wish it had racing style seatbelts. it was super easy to put together with go kart masters assembly guide booklet.

XRX-R
Kart seems to be good. Shipping not so good. I understand that shipping from over seas is not always good. The mounts that would hold the kart down while shipping were broken. Several pieces of the kart are scratched from being able to move around. Parts bag ripped open with parts missing. Go kart masters has handled the issue with professional help. Would buy from again.

Great Go kart for kids
The kart was very easy to assemble with just one person. The video that was sent with the confirmation email was very helpful and easy to follow. The kart is a great size for a 9 year. I will be buying another kart in the near future.

Decent Kart for the Price
GoKartMasters have been great to work with, and that's always a key plus! I would purchase from these guys again. 30 days into having this kart, I give it 4 stars on performance. It appears to be built fairly well and the engine runs good. The choke leaves a bit to be desired, and the kart will take a few cranks to get started the first time. The description says up to 30mph, but you won't be getting close to that number with an adult and child on board. Assembly- Don't let anyone fool you...with the correct assortment of tools and two solidly minded adults, this product took 2-1/2 hours to put together. Thanks to gokartmasters for this, because the instructions they send you are very detailed vs. the instructions from the manufacturer. A key note here: they've got the instructions for the tires and fenders backwards, which added a solid 30 minutes to our assembly. PUT YOUR FENDERS ON FIRST. If you put the tires on first, like the instructions call for, you'll need some really fancy tool accessories to get to the tight screw holes for the fenders, or more likely, you'll just pull the tires back off to put the fenders on. Oh- for those of you wondering if the $150 charge for the reverse feature is worth it--- YES. And yes some more. We've used it every single time we've ran the kart. The short on this is you're getting a solid kart for the $$$ from a company that stands behind their products and customers. Their are lots of .coms out there carrying this item, but dig a little and you'll find that gokartmasters.com is the best choice across the board.

Great cart with a warranty that is NO JOKE!
I purchased a mid xrx-r for my daughters about 5 months ago. This has been a great cart for them. I can barely fit in it as I am 6'0 for I was able to squeeze in to help teach them how to drive it. For the price I expected a solid cart with a dependable engine and drive system and that is what I got. The only minor issue I had is that the battery took a crap on my. No big deal except that the only writing on the battery is Chinese. I contacted the company purely to find out the specs on the battery so that I could go buy a new one here it town. Upon contacting the company I was informed that the company stood by their warranty 110% and that they would be sending me a new battery at no charge. I was in no way expecting that and didn't even ask for it, but I was informed that the company stands by their warranty and that is how they take care of their customers. I will be coming back when my girls out grow this cart.

Fun!!!
My son absolutely loves this, he's been on it since it arrived! The staff have been very helpful answering any questions and respond very quickly to phone calls and emails. Great customer service and awesome product. Thanks

Two Different Ages
The Mid XRX-R is definitely a perfect fit for our nine-year-old. The seat is adjustable so that our five-year-old can reach and drive too. It's convenient that the top speed can be adjusted easily on the backside of the gas pedal.
