Great Plugin! really helped us get a better kart feel in our project. The project integration was pretty straight forward too.

Thanks so much, really glad to hear it helped you!
If you ever run into any issues or feel like something’s missing feature-wise, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to improve it.

Also, if you have a moment, leaving a quick rating on the page would mean a lot :slight_smile:
Cheers!

Do you use a custom physics engine for the plugin or use chaos vehicle/chaos modular vehicles?

Hey! I don’t use a custom physics engine. All forces, impulses, and similar calculations are handled by Chaos Physics. The vehicle physics themselves don’t rely on Chaos Vehicles. They are computed using line traces, formulas, and other custom logic.

Hi, I’m looking for a car-themed asset and came across yours. I just have a few questions… Is it possible to replicate it? Is it possible for the character to move its hands depending on the steering wheel direction? Finally, is it suitable for a project with a power-up?
