We've found that the Jade is very good in the wet and cooler conditions, maybe a tad too grippy in the heat (!) of summer, but again that may just be a circuit specific problem as we have some tight hairpins at Rowrah which are critical to a fast lap. Chassis to really strong though, and doesn't need tweeking straight regularly as I've heard Tony Kart derivatives may do (never tried one so can't speak from experience here, just paddock rumour!).

Spares are very reasonably priced and easy to obtain quickly from Jade themselves or other outlets. Nothing too specific to the Jade other than the stubs I'd guess. Bumpers and side pod bars are either the same as Tony Kart or other generic versions. Set up is pretty easy on a TKM, not too much you can change anyway, so we just concentrate on pressures and tracking.
