Fast. X wing engines give this a high top speed.
Weaknesses:
Cobbled together. It's not the most reliable beast as it was a hack job from several crashed x wings.
Slowing down. None of the squadron really understood podracer mechanics fully. They did a poor job on the air brakes.

Description: When Rogue squadron crashed on Malastare they found themselves in an open wasteland, plagued by mounted gangs. They were forced to use the functional parts of their X-Wings to make vehicles. The largest of these was an armed podracer.
The engines are a distinctive, V-shaped pair. These are essentially the s-foils and engines from a T70 without the laser cannons. The cockpit of the X-Wing has been stripped back and is now pulled along by the engines. Only the front of the canopy remains as a windshield and much of the plating has been stripped away, leaving bare machinery on show. The astromech slot has been rebuilt as a gunners station. The underslung autoblaster as been remounted on a rotating stand to enable the gunner to shoot in any direction, if he can hang on.
