Podracer engines

Podracer engines
Of all components in the deadly podracers, the arguably most component would be the engines. The engines can easily be divided into 2 classes, Small and large.

Small engines
Small podracers were built based around how compact they could be. The more smaller engines lack durability and endurance, but make up for it in lightning fast manuverability and speed. There small advantage also allows them to dodge fellow racers and makes it all the easier to pass another racer during the race. A perfect example of this would be podracer Slide paramita, whos vehicle is one of the fastest and manuverable ever built, but in exchange will explode at the slightest contact.

Large Engines
Built as large as needed, the larger podracers aren't generally as manuverable as their smaller competitors, they make up for agility with raw power and amazing durability. Most podracers of this class are big on account of modifications. The racers that own pods of this size generally custom build turbochargers and accerleration compensators to squeeze every drop of speed and power from their engines. Due to large mass, all large engines sport lower than average acceleration rates, which is why most custom mods. are centered around acceleration increase.

As you can see, both classes have ups and downs, but I think that both are formidable opponents in a race either way.
