Hello eveyone, this post will focus on the different technological upgrades and the accessories than can be equipped to the vehicles, increasing some of their stats to gain an advantage over other players on the racetrack. Each one of the different items can be leveled up to further improve the efficiency of the vehicle.
Moonkarts is a 3D racing game on the Hive blockchain. In it, you compete against other players in real time to earn rewards such as Colony and Orbital tokens. In order to do this, you will first need a kart (vehicle) and a driver, which you can get by buying Centauri packs ($5.00 each, contains 5 random nfts) or by purchasing available vehicles and drivers directly from the market.
I made a post of all the vehicles in Moonkarts, check it out:

In Moonkarts, each kart has its own stats, which determined its performance during the race, making them unique. There are 4 stats:
- Speed: Determines the top speed you can achieve in any race.
- Handling: Determines how well you can navigate turns.
- Acceleration: Determines how quickly you can reach your top speed.
- Health: Determines how much damage your kart can take before breaking down for a short period of time.
