Description:
This is a replica of the Gasgano Podracer from the Star Wars Episode I (The Phantom Menace) collection. If you like this, also check out my other Lego creations.
Features/Instructions:
The operation of this craft is identical to my original podracer
- 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 and lights
- Hover height is automatically controlled, and has a ground collision prevention feature
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.

This is neat, clever how you got the front beam effect. The controls are awesome, funny though they remind me of a old tank, when the tracks were controlled separately with levers. This is fun.

Haha I want to start making my crafts available for colonization. Plus the lego figure adds about 100+ parts so this way they are more friendly to all hardware. Don’t worry, I have a long-term project I’m working on with the mini figures that just might blow you away. -
