Star Wars Podracer - 2 The engines are primarily made from the legs off some McDonalds robotic toy. I inserted some plastic tubing down the middle of them at the back. The 'floating effect' of the repulsorlift engines was achieved by mounting the engines on thin wire a few millimetres off the base. The air-intake section at the front of the engines are a couple of small caps off some paint tubes. The energy binder linking the two engines was made from a thick piece of wire. The terrain in the background was all made by me as well. I've got three other podracers currently under construction. I'll do an entry on these shortly.
