What’s a Mini-Cart ? maybe it’s a Guider or perhaps a Bogie, possibly a Soapbox Racer? But Oor Wullie won't be parted from his Piler. He's signed up for the race courtesy of JC Thompson Press

KITS

  • EDA has imported kits from a small company in Canada which has made a speciality of it: see The Derby Gokit Company
  • As supplied, they contain parts for steering linkage and wheels.
  • EDA has added the necessary plywood pieces and a brake assembly.
  • The Canadian parts cost £35.
  • Plywood adds another £12, brake parts a further £3, so altogether an outlay of £50 is needed.
  • Some may prefer to supply their own plywood and/or build their own brake assembly.
