There are several providers that offer steering wheel mounts for smartphones and RaceBoxes. We think that's a good thing . Only comparison can guarantee safety.

Many ambitious hobby kart racers are looking for tools that will enable them to improve their performance. This has prompted some to fire up their 3D printers and tinker with solutions. And these solutions, too, work.

But what are the differences? We compared the various products and compiled the following table, which illustrates the advantages of the MOKADAMO system:

Origin

  • Unclear origin: materials and third-party products from the Far East or low-wage countries.
Third-party products
  • MOKADAMO sources all third-party products (SP Connect, Quad Lock, RaceBox) from the EU.

    The customer is considered a consumer and is therefore comprehensively protected by law.
  • The customer is considered, especially in the case of special offers with discount codes (e.g. RaceBox), as an importer.

    As a "distributor", they are therefore fully liable. (Be sure to check the sender's address!)

 

An old saying goes: "Buy cheap and buy twice." We designed and developed the MOKADAMO KartBuddy so that it can be passed on to the next generation. Durability was one of the fundamental premises for starting the project in the first place. We consciously decided against a throwaway scenario.

The recycling rate of a KartBuddy is 0%. After all, what is there to recycle if you can pass it on to your heirs?
