Gday
Buying second hand KT. As far as chassis goes looking at
07 Lightning Xtreme
09 BRK RUSH
07 Lewis custom.
I weigh bout 80kg.
Any of these stand out better or similar.
Any advise appreciated.

Any of those chassis could be made to run at the front. I'm not sure about parts availability for the Lewis. (it's only a matter of time before you need bars or stub axles / steering columns etc...)
Whichever one you choose, make sure it's straight. Easiest way to check is to remove wheels, and put a straightedge across the top of the kingpins and sight back to the axle. Gap should be even both sides. Rotate the axle while you do this and you will see if it is bent also.
If it was me i'd check that it transfers weight evenly both ways, but this is kind-of hard to explain how to do accurately.
If you are buying a complete kart (chassis and motor), the condition of the motor is going to be far more important to how competitive you are than the type of chassis.
Let us know how you go!
