In the world of karting, every detail makes a difference. This philosophy led to the creation of Rodj Engineering, a project dedicated to the design and manufacture of 3D-printed kart components, designed to improve track performance, reliability, and chassis durability.

Rodj Engineering products are developed for amateur and competitive kart drivers, with a practical and results-oriented approach, the result of direct experience on the track and continuous dialogue with drivers and teams.

3D-printed kart components: why choose them

3D printing applied to karting allows for the creation of lightweight, durable, and highly functional components. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to:

  • Reduce the overall weight of the kart

  • Optimize geometries for specific technical functions

  • Offer a high level of customization

The materials used are high-performance technical materials, selected to withstand the stresses typical of track use, even in extreme conditions.


Universal pads for kart bottoms

Universal kart underbody pads are compatible with all chassis and designed for quick and intuitive installation. They protect the underbody and chassis from wear and impact, helping to:

  • Increase the life of the chassis

  • Reduce damage caused by contact with the asphalt

Made of abrasion-resistant technical materials, they are an essential accessory for those who frequently race on the track.

Flexible protections for kart chassis tubes

The protections for kart chassis tubes are fully customizable based on the diameter of the tubes. Flexible, resistant, and easy to install, they protect the chassis from:

  • Impacts

  • Rubbing

  • Wear over time

Installation takes just a few seconds and does not require any structural modifications to the kart.

Front wheel temperature gauges for karts

Front wheel temperature gauges for karts are a useful tool for both novice and experienced drivers. A sensor detects the temperature of the tire and an LED provides an immediate visual indication, helping the driver understand whether:

  • The tires are within the optimal temperature range

  • The kart's setup is correct

  • Their driving style is effective

A practical accessory for improving consistency, setup, and understanding of the kart's behavior on the track.

Product development and track testing

Every Rodj Engineering component is the result of a continuous development process based on real-world testing on the track and direct feedback from kart drivers. Suggestions from drivers and teams are essential for perfecting materials, design, and functionality.

The goal is to offer truly useful kart components that can make a difference both during free practice and in the race.


Special thanks to our customers

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the kart drivers and enthusiasts who have chosen RodJ Engineering components in recent months to improve their karts and their performance on the track. Every order, every piece of feedback, and every suggestion has been fundamental in helping this project grow and develop increasingly effective products.

Your support is the real force that drives us to continue innovating and offering quality solutions. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to be part of your track experience!

Continue to follow us and share your impressions with us, because it is thanks to you that RodJ Engineering improves every day.
