What are Go Power Wheels??

Post by Rick Chapman » Mon Jul 29, 2013 9:39 pm

I recently got a 1962 Blitz F-1000, that I am planning on restoring..
I want to know, are the Go Power wheels aluminum or magnesium???
They need a little help, so do I...
Thanks

Go Power made both aluminum and magnesium back then, but most new karts came with magnesium. The aluminums were cheaper, and we sold a lot of them to the less affluent Central Florida karters. TJ
