Background
Trikemare is one of the early Hackys of the series and the first build of Alex. It's name was earned due to it's uniquely terrible handling characteristics making it a nightmare to drive. The original theme was intended to be a WW2-esque fighter plane look but was hastily equipped with half a christmas tree and tinsel. Trikemare never ran a fully fledged theme before being retired partly on safety grounds.
Having a light chassis and geared for high speed meant Trikemare was capable of a competitive race however it's lack of cornering ability severely hampered consistent performance especially on smaller tracks. Reverse trikes are inherently less stable which when combined with the fact it was a first Hacky build with questionable vehicle dynamics meant Trikemare rolling in corners was a frequent sight on the track.
Trikemare was retired in favour of CyberQuad donating it's motor and ESC to the new build.
