KartKraft - Review
Introduction NOTE: THIS REVIEW IS OUT OF DATE. IT WAS WRITTEN BASED ON AN EARLY BETA VERSION OF THE GAME. NEW REVIEW COMING SOON. In 2008, a Karting sim in development caught our eye. It was known as "KartSim". It looked promising as far as physics were concerned and the graphics were OK.

Tru-Tension - Chain Monkey
Introduction Correct chain tension is crucial to achieve maximum performance from your engine and minimal energy loss in the drivetrain. In the case of having the chain too tight, you will not only zap your engines power but you will increase the wear on the engine crank and bearings. This can be costly if it's a regular occurrence. Having the chain too loose on the other hand, can often see the chain being thrown from the sprocket, usually causing damage to the sprocket, sprocket carrier, ch
