Description:
This is a replica of Anakin Skywalker’s Podracer from the Star Wars Episode I (The Phantom Menace) collection. If you like this, also check out my other Lego creations.
Features/Instructions:
Watch this short video to see the operation of the craft in mobile/touchscreen configuration:
- Simple thumbstick operation for mobile/touchscreen users. The left/right sticks control the engines. Differential between sticks controls turning.
- For non-touchscreen, use W/S and Q/E to control the engines.
- AGs control hover, lights, and driver cam
- Hover height is automatically controlled, and has a ground collision prevention feature (new)
Disclaimers:
- I have used tinker panel mainly to improve physics (disabling drag and collisions on all of the exterior studs) and get the CoM just right without messing with the Lego structure.
- To make this a functional craft I had to include fuel reservoirs and gyroscope using size and mass scaling.

I can't get it off the ground
You really have a good gaming chair
These would be fun to race if SR2 had multiplayer, awesome work. The controls are fun on these pod racers.
thanks
@Gozinya
Welp!! There goes my HUD idea...
Thanks anyway.
@Antoni0
Yeah I figured that out a little too late. I haven’t found a way to set vertical position relative to screen.
Is there a way to set the vertical position of the text, based on a fixed middle point. (Like the side position)
Because the current configuration, changes the vertical position depending on the screen resolution,
which would create some problems to a variety of users.
@Gozinya lol

For now I have this
Can you build a star destroyer?
@danthecoloradan
🙏🏼
Love the ion cable between the engines.
@TestRunner
Haha glad to hear. I screw things up sometimes and don’t realize it before posting.
Way awesome with the finishing touches (ion beam)
All your lego work is really exceptional.
@Vashutechno Yeah, he even gets mods and devs upvoting his stuff. Mad!
Best designer in this community 👌👌👌
@TestRunner
That’s so weird. I put a gif in the craft description and it shows up for me... let me know if you can’t figure out the controls and I can dm you in discord.
Yeah oh, lol that’s what I meant. @Gozinya @Gozinya
@NateDoge
Thanks! That and the ion flames to connect the engines were last-minute additions, but I’m glad I did.
@TestRunner
Did you see the little video in the description? For non-touchscreen, it’s translate forward/back for left engine, translate up/down for right engine.
Wow, using the metholox exhaust/flames for detail is a great idea! @Gozinya
@TestRunner
Nice! Can’t wait to see it.
Now this is podracing!
