Description

I've built some go-karts! This little project started with discovering four of the same small car chassis, and then finding enough of the same wheels to go with them all. I initially thought I'd use some 2x3 sloped bricks printed with numbers and racing stripes for the fronts, but as I only had one of them, I ended up using any printed 2x3 slopes I could find. I think it gives them a cool variety of themes though, so I tried to style each one's colour scheme based on the printed piece. Checkered flag, ...a mouse, Rock Raiders, and Anakin's Podracer.

I also tried to keep the feeling of simplicity from my favorite era of Lego: the late 1990s. These are as a result very simple but effective little models, quite fun for just go-karting around a Lego city. Also they're a nice alternative to having 4 chassis and 16 more wheels laying around.
