Hi, we�re looking to move out of comer cadet into JTKM later this year and wondering if things are getting clearer with regard to what�s the best kit to be on.

CIK chassis or not? - The original Talko advice was non-CIK for smaller juniors. Does this still hold true? I understand the new Storm has had good results in JTKM, and it�s been suggested to me that by the end of the year everyone will be on a CIK or CIK style chassis.

Grip and set up - I've already seen some karts getting horribly gripped up in hotter / rubbered-in track conditions. Is this down to older TKM chassis not coping with the new grippier tyres, or merely poor set up?

Is a conversion to a 50mm axle on the older TKM chassis the way to go, or is it marginal / unclear?
TAG or not? � Is there a significant performance disadvantage in going TAG, or are TAG, clutched and DD all about the same now? I�ve also heard that there have been problems with the electronics on the TAG engine, is this the case, and if so have they been resolved?

Lots of questions I know, but any insights are appreciated!!
