It's actually suited to a kart I reckon.
Nitro is high maintenance - great when it's running well, but you need to be on top of it all of the time.
I'd look for ways of converting it to LiPo / BL and you'll have a screamer you can use anywhere - flat!!
Perhaps it'll lose a little character - smoke and noise - but it'll gain usability.

Try getting acetone in the cuts!!
Happens non-stop at work - acid dries up the skin, then just one drop of either acid or acetone and .... bite lip and smile!!

Nitro fuel does contain a lot of methanol.
One I used was 25% nitromethane, 11% synthetic oil, 64% methanol - Byron Gen 2 race.
Strange how the smell from my diesel car after a run is the same as my nitro!!
