This mod is still in progress and will be updated, but i think its looking pretty good so far. if you have any suggestions let me know in the comments. It is a very fun car to drive, as it's fairly different to your usual car. its extremely nimble, yet loves to roll even with a center of gravity lower than ̶S̶h̶a̶w̶t̶y̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶l̶o̶o̶r̶ a Tesla. it doesn't accelerate very fast but it does stop.
The Model Kio is a simple car for simple people. It's body is made up of fiberglass and plastic, and it borrows most of its electronics and styling from vacuum cleaners.
With 28.9 horsepower it might seem slow, but keep in mind thats 28.9 horses (one of the ones lent to us had a broken leg) pushing this 906.2 lb (411.05 kg) toy.
With the handling of a sports-car and off-road-ability of a fiberglass can it's perfectly equipped for city cruises, big and small. Do not worry if it sounds like an Rx-7 trying to start up, we "borrowed" an inline three from a 1:4 scale model RC-car we found in a dumpster. We also took the body from one of the Royal Gorge gondolas! Not to mention the headrests, which were allotted to us by the park owner of Cedar Point. One of the rides was to be repaired, so we offered to buy the headrests.
The Model Kio is not really car, but it can drive. did we mention it got a 1-star from BIHS (BeamNG Institute of Highway Safety)? Ha! that's because it didn't. We didn't test it at all! Do be careful not to roll the car, it catches the wind from the side like a campervan.
