Split-X turbojet engine

The Split-X turbojet engine was a podracer engine designed and produced by Collor Pondrat prior to the Invasion of Naboo.

Characteristics
So-named for the two, chevron-shaped engines that, viewed from the front, formed an "X", the engines were fueled by tradium power fluid pressurized with quold runium, and activated with ionized injectrine, to give the pod an extra speed boost. Because of these attributes, the pod had a loud, unique, fast-paced, high-pitched engine rumble. The estimated maximum speed is 829 km/h and had a maximum altitude of 85 meters. Because of the caustic nature of the tradium pumping through it, the Split-X was prone to spontaneous combustion. Requiring constant maintenance which entailed an entire tear down and rebuild, the Split-X was temperamental and fragile.
