Product Overview
The TrailMaster 300 XRS EFI is a full-size, high-performance go-kart designed for skilled riders who want more power, more suspension, and more capability than the mid-size and 200cc models. With a fuel-injected 300cc engine, independent suspension, and adult-sized chassis, this machine is built for serious trail use—not casual cruising.
Because the radiator lines and cooling system are routed under the seats, the cockpit has slightly reduced legroom compared to simpler models, so taller riders should pay close attention to fit and dimensions before choosing this kart.

Riders: experienced teens and adults who are comfortable with speed and mechanical upkeep
-
Best for: trail riding, open land, and higher-speed off-road use where momentum matters
-
Not ideal for: brand-new riders, young kids, or those wanting a super-roomy cockpit
-
Fit note: taller riders, especially around 6'4" and above, should carefully review legroom and fit

Use case: best suited for riders who prefer performance and speed over roomy, laid-back seating
PERFORMANCE & EFI BENEFITS
-
EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) provides:
-
Smoother starts and more consistent throttle response
-
Better altitude performance than a traditional carburetor
-
Less hassle with carb cleaning or retuning after sitting
-
-
Liquid cooling helps the engine handle extended rides and higher-load conditions more consistently
-
Built to reward owners who follow break-in, maintenance, and regular inspection routines

COMMON QUESTIONS
Is this model good for beginners?
-
Not really. The 300 XRS EFI is aimed at riders who already have some experience and are comfortable with speed, maintenance, and fit-checking. It’s powerful and has a tighter cockpit, so it’s not the best first kart for young or nervous drivers.
What difference does EFI make?
-
Fuel injection improves starting, helps the kart run better at different elevations, and cuts down on carb-related issues after storage. It’s generally smoother and more “set-and-forget” than a carbureted system when properly maintained.
Why is the cockpit space smaller?
-
The radiator lines and cooling hardware are routed under the seats, which takes up space in the leg area. This design supports better cooling performance but reduces legroom compared to some simpler 200cc models.
What oil should I use?
-
Use SAE 10W30 small-engine oil as the standard recommendation. Change oil after break-in and at regular intervals to protect the engine.
Can I get parts and upgrades?
-
Yes. Parts, maintenance components, and common upgrades for the 300-series platform are readily available through TrailMaster parts suppliers.
SAFETY & GEAR RECOMMENDATIONS
A performance kart like the 300 XRS EFI demands proper gear every ride:
-
DOT-approved full-face or motocross-style helmet
-
Goggles or visor for eye protection
-
Durable gloves
-
Long sleeves, long pants, and sturdy, closed-toe footwear
-
Consider extras like an hour meter for tracking maintenance, fuel stabilizer, carb or injector-safe cleaners, touch-up paint, upgraded harnesses, and a whip light or flag for visibility
Always ride on appropriate terrain, follow local laws, and supervise younger riders closely.
