Description
This Kart was originally uploaded to Race Department over here, back in 2017, so many thanks to everyone that made that possible: <a href="https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/gokart.16419/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.racedepartment.com%2Fdownloads%2Fgokart.16419%2F&hash=57ba4e4a93501e2041fdb414ce1c1021" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/gokart.16419/</a><br>
<br>
This release is my attempt to add at least one revisions worth of "upgrades" to this kart, which includes adjustments to the base model as well as three new LODs, which should help to improve framerates/fps. The physics and data have also been tweaked to try to improve the handling and driving feel.<br>
<br>
This release includes a conversion of all the skins I've previously released for the original kart, as well as what's found in this skin pack (by permission from the author):<br>

<br>
Skins for the previous release will no longer work with this revision, as the UV Maps have changed to facilitate painting the majority of the Karts exterior (which was not previously supported). This is an example to demonstrate how much surface is available to paint:<br>

If anyone has suggestions for how to improve the kart please PM me or a drop a message in the discussion thread.<br>
