    On the first week of the two weeks off, Atlas has helped me with texturing so now that can go ahead, I've also worked on two new body styles for the go-kart, a "sport" version and a "extreme" version, I need to add more to the extreme but there are the models af of now. (Excuse the missing wheels)

    Not fully sure, was considering an electric motor but could end up using the pigeon engine.

    Another revelation: The extreme version is being cancelled due to the fact that I personally don't like the idea and instead there will be a classic version with a mish-mash of classic car parts

    Okay. Thanks for replying though

    Personally I'd say go for a two stroke if you are making your own engine.

    Also, I don't mean to put stress on you, but a pigeon engine is like, 683cc or something, and that is wayy to large for a go kart.

    Eh, who knows. Due to this being a "test vehicle" I could really do anything to it. Heck I could attach wings to it and say it's a plane.

    I meant sorry because I know that it's a test vehicle and I didn't want to put more sterss on you. But it's good to see that that helped you.

    Here is the replacement for the extreme, the classic:

    If you don't like it you can easily send me what you think a suitable exterior should look like.

    The steering shaft (the thing that connects the steering wheel to the rack and wheels) should be straight, not curved like yours:

    Technically it doesn't have to and I have ridden in go karts that don't have a straight steering column but it is more likely to see ones without, either way I would still like to keep it like this until I redo the chassis, as I can guarantee I will eventually need to do it. Aslo It isn't one big curve as the picture leads you to believe, It's actually bent at a 10 degree angle near the top and nowhere else.

    Show a pic of one. All images I found have a straight shaft (not column), which is logical as a curved steering shaft is a complex device.

    Yeah, okay I couldn't find a pic so they must be rare or something. But as I said I will end up redoing the chassis due to it looking half baked.

    A new chassis will be on it's way, hopefully it will be finished before the two week break from the cuatro. This will ensure that others can make custom exteriors easily as all you would have to do is make a exterior and put it in. I shall probably make variants of wheels If I have time.
    If anybody wants to make their own skin for any of the models here they are:
    Standard:

    Classic:

    If anyone wants to do anything with them please feel free to do so
    (Don't use these, they are outdated, already)
