Low Blow

Update v1.1: Nerfed wheel friction, adjusted suspension, adjusted AI. Low Blow is now better balanced versus other pro-derived chibis (i.e. Humo and Toyeca Jr.). To compensate for the nerf, the car is overall more stable with softer suspension that has slightly better performance over bumps.

Part of the SD02 line that succeeded the original Starfire GT.

Low Blow is a chibified version of Sucker Punch, featuring a little fan powered by a seperate small motor. Although there is no true ground effect in this chibi model, the extra grippy tires give Low Blow excellent handling similar to its larger and faster counterpart.

...

Tips:

• Low Blow handles similarly to Sucker Punch; The car has extreme grip and cornering capabilities with good top speed and good acceleration.
• Though very grippy, the car can be very difficult to control once the rear end loses traction, much like with Sucker punch.
• Low Blow can outpace 10-KO and Stinger Jr. but its faults can make the car feel less competitive in pickup on races.

...

Misc:

• A low blow is a type of unfair hit in boxing, similar to how a sucker punch is one. "Blow" is also a reference to the fan on the car.
• This is the first open-cockpit chibi made. It is also the first with fender skirts (and second chibi wider than normal).
• Sucker Punch was one of the original remodel candidates I planned, but it has been delayed for a while.
• The car weighs 1.3kg - 100g heavier than a typical chibi. This is to account for the small motor powering the fan.
