There is only a text on my phone to say the amount he intended to pay.

Of course you stand a chance before a magistrate (district justice). Go there Monday and file a civil complaint against this guy for the value of the gokart or its return. SAVE THE TEXT ON YOUR PHONE. This is clearly a case of theft, and I'm sure you can prove that it belonged to you, through friends and family, and that you did not just give it to him as a gift.
