So many questions before I take the plunge.

I'm in Scotland. We have had a few Atom's up here. First one I had a good look at was Andy Gordon's. Very impressive.

I don't have as much track experience as some, but I can tell you from reading literally thousands of Atom related posts that the reliability of the Honda powered Atoms is excellent. You won't be disappointed. And as Bolus said, you have a relatively close factory to support you. The value of that cannot be understated.

What they said.

You can buy a beefed up set of rear uprights with bearings if you decide to run big rubber. It just depends on how silly you want to get. However it does seem that rod ends and wheel bearings are the achilles heel.
