In MoonKarts, success on the track isn’t just about how fast you can accelerate—it’s how well you put together your kart, driver, parts, and accessories. The Karts & Parts system gives players many levers to pull: from basic, beginner-friendly vehicles all the way up to specialty builds that shine in advanced competition.
At the entry level is the Astro Kart, the game's primary kart. It’s meant to offer balance for newcomers, with moderate stats across speed, handling, health, and acceleration. It isn’t built to dominate, but it gives beginners a reliable machine while they learn the ropes. As you earn more races and upgrade your cards, you unlock more advanced karts.
Next up are Astral Karts—two distinct models called LunocityX and Quasar Sport. LunocityX pushes acceleration and speed a bit higher than Astro, while Quasar Sport trades off slightly for better handling and stability. These are especially useful for players who understand how to take corners well and want more nuance in how they drive.
Beyond that is the Lunar class, with specialty karts such as Nebula Guard and Arachno Eclipse. Lunar karts tend to push stats into the upper ranges—higher top speed, better acceleration, more health and tighter handling. They reward precision, sharp reflexes, and strategic control: drift through corners, avoid collisions, use track features smartly.
All these karts are shaped by Tech Cards—engine, tires, body kit, gearbox. Tech upgrades allow you to tune specific attributes: speed, durability, handling, etc. Engine upgrades might increase top speed, maybe at a cost to acceleration or handling; tire upgrades improve grip and cornering but may slightly reduce speed; body kits tend to boost health/durability; gearbox tweaks help acceleration bursts. Each upgrade has trade-offs so it’s a matter of deciding what fits your racing style.
Accessories serve both style and function. Things like antennas, wheels, exhaust pipes give modest performance boosts (from about +1 % in common accessories up to higher boosts in rarer ones). These boosts are small, but they can matter in tight races. Accessories also let players personalize their kart’s look, which helps in community and competition.
The whole system is carefully balanced so that even with powerful parts, player skill, customization choices, and strategy remain central. For anyone serious about improving, it’s not enough to have a top-tier kart—you’ve got to know when and how to use its strengths. MoonKarts’ Karts & Parts mechanics make that possible.
