Originally entering life as an FX-21 Farm Speeder from Pretormin, this modified racer was custom-built by Corellian-based Roufi Racing. It features an upgraded engine and intakes, aerodynamic fins, and a chained-on podracer engine for speed.

My main inspirations were Han’s landspeeder from Solo and this clip from The Grand Tour:

Thanks to Mark for the lovely edits.

And yes, he did leave the pits with something extra. πŸ˜‰ That'll be sure to draw a yellow flag.

I like just about everything in this build - it's the perfect amount of greebling, the colors are nice, its a hefty size too. The editing is beautiful and I love the pit droid. Super minor thing, but I love the attention to detail on the base - I noticed the layer of ice beneath the snow! There isn't a lot to criticize, but I guess if I was being nitpicky, I don't love the strapped on engine. I love the idea and the NPU, but it feels very short. Most podracer engines we see are significantly longer than that.

Slight conflict of interest as I edited this build! The colors are maybe my favorite in the event, a brave choice to go for a pedestrian speeder design amidst sleek starfighters. The pit droid is charming and adds life and motion to the build, great parts usage on the engine. Base does it's job, didn't need to really be anything else. All in all a great entry, captures the spirit of the event really well.Β

Just an all time great. The editing really does it favors, it looks borderline professional and render-like in the best way possible. This will show up in Factions promos forever, I'm willing to bet.
