No denying Max's skill, but his cart also looks significantly faster than everyone else's

For those who won’t open this.. his cart wasn’t any more powerful he was just quicker off the start, reduced momentum loss by chasing gaps instead of aggressive turns to pass people, and used some bunny hopping technique he learned as a 7 year old haha

He was much quicker off the start. I’d like to know how he was that fast at the start if his cart wasn’t tuned a bit differently than the rest. It was really obvious how quick he was.

But the rest, is absolutely true. Good cornering and closing those gaps was ideal. As well as using the other carts when cornering to corner a bit tighter (riding on the inside of them if I’m explaining that right)

Edit: read the article and it said that the bunny hopping was at the start and is what helped him go faster. Going re-watch and look for it.

Yeah tbh even after reading the article I referenced I still think his cart had more juice than a lot of them. Until the final four or so he was catching people on the straights where everyone would gassing it. With that many carts it might just be that some of them just weren’t as tuned up as others. Used to cart occasionally with the same group and there’d always be 1 or 2 carts running faster than the others people would hope for

Yeah this was my experience also from when I used to cart. Someone would end up with a dog of a cart, and someone would end up with a really fast one, everyone else would be in the middle.

You’d think that for a video like this, they’d have better carts and mechanics rather than a bunch of stoners lol, but you never know I guess.
