Phantom Racing Chassis PRC Style Cassette Bolt Kit - 5/16-24 Drilled Hardware - Universal Fit
When you're sourcing elite cart parts to shave tenths off your lap time, securing your driveline is non-negotiable. The Phantom Racing Chassis (PRC) Style Cassette Bolt Kit delivers the rock-solid axle-to-chassis connection required to handle the brutal torque of high-output racing engines. Whether you are building a fresh rig from a go karts frame for sale or upgrading your current setup, this kit guarantees your axle cassette stays exactly where you set it.
Eliminate Driveline Deflection
Track vibrations and aggressive cornering loads can rattle standard hardware loose, causing catastrophic binding or chain derailment. Designed for Buck Wild or OEM PRC cassettes, this bolt kit features precision-drilled fasteners that accept safety pins, ensuring your hardware remains torqued to spec from the green flag to the checkered. By eliminating cassette play, you maximize power transfer from the sprocket to the tires, ensuring that every ounce of horsepower generated by your engine pistons reaches the track surface. When you are pushing the limits of grip, you need absolute confidence that your axle assembly won't shift under heavy braking or acceleration.
Precision Hardware for Pit Lane Efficiency
Quick adjustments in the pits win races. This kit streamlines your workflow, providing perfectly matched components that distribute load evenly across the cassette housing. You won't waste time digging through bins for the right washer or safety pin; SKU PRC-CBK gives you the complete package to lock everything down fast. If you've recently picked up a bare go kart frame for sale, this is the exact hardware you need to mount your axle cassettes properly and safely the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are the bolts in this kit drilled?
A: The 5/16-24 bolts are precision-drilled to accept safety pins or safety wire. This is a critical safety feature in karting that prevents the nuts from backing off due to high-frequency track vibrations, ensuring your axle cassette remains locked in position throughout the race.
Q: Is this kit compatible with non-PRC chassis?
A: While this kit is specifically engineered for OEM Phantom Racing Chassis and Buck Wild axle cassettes, the 5/16-24 sizing is a common standard. However, we recommend verifying your cassette housing thickness to ensure the included hardware provides the correct thread engagement for your specific setup.
Q: How often should I replace my axle hardware?
A: You should inspect your axle hardware for signs of stretching, thread wear, or corrosion after every race weekend. If you notice any play in the cassette or if the threads show signs of galling, replace the hardware immediately to prevent chain derailment or catastrophic axle failure.
Q: Do I need special tools to install this kit?
A: No special tools are required. You will need standard wrenches or sockets to torque the 5/16-24 nuts to your chassis manufacturer's specifications. The included safety pins are designed for quick, tool-free installation in the pits.
