"Luckily for Quadineros, the BT310's engines exploded before he was even able to start the race". You know it's bad when he's LUCKY his engines exploded.
And to cap it all off, he probably lost the bet because of the technicality that he never actually drove the pod. At least, that's what I would have done if I were whoever made that bet.
I loved using Neva-Kee's absurd acceleration in Episode One Racer. Definitely my personal favorite. My little sister and I always cheered for Sebulba just because his face kinda resembled our dog's. It's too bad he had to be the antagonist and get destroyed by a little, annoying, human boy.
Keep in mind that the Radon-Ulzer engines were designed for use in starfighters, not pod-racers. Therefore, their power and acceleration was far superior to any purpose-built pod-racer engine.
Depended on the track. But primarily Mars guo was every I used. I remember doing lots of in game testing to find the pod with the fastest top speed and Mars guo had it. He was one of the few that would be able to get over 1000kph.
Kyle Ray - I preferred Neva Kee because of the exceptional control. Mars Guo might be better if you can handle him. In any case, I'd play a remake of that game. With today's technology it could be really fun.
I always took Neva Kee and its FG 8T8 in the old star wars podracer game because I didn't like how the other pods were always swinging left and right on the slightest change of direction :P

@@irvinmorales1409 thats what i thought too at first. Idk why I said only 1 died. Maybe its cuz I heard it in the video somewhere and it was fresh in my mind.
Podracing is one of the most awesome things from the prequels! Literaly my childhood, especially with that PC game :) (the PlayStation sequel to it was quite awesome too)
I never understood why humans aren't suited for podracing considering we see plenty of humans piloting starfighters that are far faster than any podracer
Podracing is more challenging because of the many obstacles they can crash into and humans, unless they are force sensitive, can't maneuver through all of them safely.
Funny: One of the engines was named very close to the Quadrajet 4 barrel carburetor used in 60's and 70's era cars. I know this because my brother is a genius with fixing them for people.
Same. I always mained Mars Guo until I could unlock bullseye. Guos machine was so underrated too. It responded well to mods and hardly drifted at all in turns. But by the end of the game I needed bullseye to win.
With all those insanely high speed crashes and low safety standards, it really is a miracle that there were only 1 or 2 fatalities during the Boonta Eve Classic. I mean Teemto really should have died after the Tuskens shot his pod.
Mars Guo survived, but he was put out of action for quite a while. Ratts was the only confirmed fatality, but I am guessing they just never found Neva's crash or the Jawa's scrapped it first.
They did. There was a sequel for consoles called "Racer Revenge", the Pod Race also made an appearance in Lego Star Wars Episode 1, there was also an Arcade version of Racer Episode 1 that featured better graphics but only 4 tracks and where you werent easily at the front all the time, AND there was also a Star Wars Racer mode in Kinect Star Wars with a number of different pods to play and tracks to race. Still would be cool to get one with modern graphics and updated models.
Interesting i find this now of all times. Good info, great speed comparison, excellent delivery. My favorites to use were anakin because you can understand him, bozzie baranta because of how hard it is to get him, ark 'bumpy' roose because bumpy and that awesome accelleration, and aldar beedo because he had the best paint scheme imo. Also those massive engines.
The pod race we saw in episode 1 is a major event in terms of Pod Racing, it's real world equivalents would be events like NASCAR's Daytona 500, IndyCar's Indianapolis 500, Formula One's Grand Prix of Monaco, Endurance Sports Car Racing's 24 Hours of Le Mans, the National Hot Rod Association's US Nationals and the Australian V8 Supercars Bathurst 1,000
Maybe for Tatooine, a lawless dust bowl in the Outer Rim but it’s real world equivalent would be more akin to an unsanctioned drag race in the desert that allows 9 year old kid slaves to race.
I know Lucas couldn’t have made the scene any longer than he did, but the fact that this race was literally only 3 laps is daft. All those thousands of people attending to see 3 laps
What's with leaving out Neva Kee's name when talking about the FG 8T8? Every other pod racer mentioned here (minus all the others that weren't) had mentioned who piloted them.
Anakin won because he was a Jedi. Not because he was human. He says he’s the only human who can pilot a podracer and Qui gon states he must have Jedi reflexes in order to be able to race pods. Reflexes quick enough to deflect blaster shots with a lightsaber.
Man pod racing needs to be put more into Star Wars stories just as much as Lightsaber battles and spaceship battles. I know pod racing has nothing to do with wars even but still. I mean heck they could literally make a spin-off series about pod racing like speed racer. Or do a ford vs ferrari type story.
DARKFROST GAMING yeah and they have something called exturmanatus , there are two forms : 1 simple killing all life on a planet 2 death staring the whole planet and the thing is there hive city' s are basically corusant , just think of the hundreds of billions of life's killed by a small group of ships
Where did you do your research? Some of these backstorys seam a little made up (which is fun). But if you played the game you'd find a pretty different outcome to your list.
What prevents the cockpit of a podracer from lunging forward when braking? Since it's connected by a cable, it would have to have its own braking system or the slack in the cable would send it flying forward over the engines when braking. But I am not sure that is the case.
Yea definitely looks that way but they kind of are like jet turbines and push air through them in order to move that wouldn’t work in vacuum. You would need either a old school chem rocket or gas propellant or a repulsor
Yeah i hear ya Alan. Although x wing engines design kinda look like they are turbine driven. Thanks for the replies and keep up the good work, your content is always varied and interesting.
There are lots of small engines around the equator, that are not detailed on the model. Small being a relative term - they are still similar in size to star destroyer engines. (see the cross-sections books)
"Luckily for Quadineros, the BT310's engines exploded before he was even able to start the race". You know it's bad when he's LUCKY his engines exploded.
Yea he would’ve most likely died that podracer was way too powerful for him

@@attilathehun5067
Quadineros was actually seen later on. He was last seen being promoted in a poster where he was racing against Sebulba.

Me at the course "Vengeance" in star wars racer in the zero gravity chamber section.
Interestingly, Anakin's modifications to his engines also made them easy to stall when starting up, hence why he stalls at the beginning of the race.
And if his engines didn’t stall he would’ve been in 1st place a lot sooner.
This has a parallel with performance-tuned engines with lightened flywheels. Faster throttle response, but the crank-shaft loses momentum quickly.
@@seanberry1 the attention to details for the whole race was perfect
It’s a neat idea that Sebulba’s Pod’s split X configuration foreshadows Anakin’s pursuit of Luke’s X wing in ANH.

The sound of the engine is like the harley davidson of the pods
Kid anakin is the greatest thing in star wars.
Keep in mind that the Radon-Ulzer engines were designed for use in starfighters, not pod-racers. Therefore, their power and acceleration was far superior to any purpose-built pod-racer engine.
really dig the real world comparisons
Always used Neva Kee in the N64 game. Best podracer
Ludwigia pilosa Mars Guo
Neva Kee was the best racer to use
Depended on the track. But primarily Mars guo was every I used. I remember doing lots of in game testing to find the pod with the fastest top speed and Mars guo had it. He was one of the few that would be able to get over 1000kph.

Their engines weren’t technically in front of them. Also their pods go above the engines while their accelerating.

Lol maybe
I never understood why humans aren't suited for podracing considering we see plenty of humans piloting starfighters that are far faster than any podracer
Yea I think it was just to make anakin seem special. But some aliens definitely had faster reflexes than humans
darman12able The key word is "starfighter". They're less likely to crash into rocks or other obstacles in space. 🙂
starfighters have inertial dampeners to counter G-forces. I doubt pod racers do.
Podracing is more challenging because of the many obstacles they can crash into and humans, unless they are force sensitive, can't maneuver through all of them safely.
And Anakin was ' years old he shouldn't have been able to race anyways
Truly underrated and incredible channel! Nice work gentlemen.

Loved that comparison between the pods and real world craft!

Same. I always mained Mars Guo until I could unlock bullseye. Guos machine was so underrated too. It responded well to mods and hardly drifted at all in turns. But by the end of the game I needed bullseye to win.
It's been forever since I played the N64 game but I believe the pod I was best with was Bullseye Navoir.
Don’t Tusken raiders pod race on their cycler rifles?
really liked this video! loved the analysis of each racer and thoughtful comparisons to war era fighters and modern jets...very cool!
Great vid GenTech, I like how how you compared speeds to real-life aircraft.
I always dug the sound of Sebulba's Plug-F Mammoth. It sounds like a junker, but it's still crazy fast.

Mars goo was always my favorite in the podracer game
Yeah lol. Once you unlocked him and used him, most of the rest of the game became cake.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE THIS VIDEO FOR A LONG TIME NOW THANK YOU
With all those insanely high speed crashes and low safety standards, it really is a miracle that there were only 1 or 2 fatalities during the Boonta Eve Classic. I mean Teemto really should have died after the Tuskens shot his pod.

Mars Guo survived, but he was put out of action for quite a while. Ratts was the only confirmed fatality, but I am guessing they just never found Neva's crash or the Jawa's scrapped it first.
Cool. I never confirmed Guo's survival before.
It was that Nuknog, what was he called, and another one that collided but both survived and ended up in hospital.

How a REAL pod racer secuel could work:

That's not a barrel role, what Anakin did was something called a Ailerion Role. Get yo facts straight.
What are the names of the background music you used? Specifically for Gasgano, Ratts Tyrell, and Anakin Skywalker? those songs are fire

These pods are slower than I thought. But look how big the engines are.
Arent pod engines parts from space ships? why do they only go 500 mph?
Atmospheric limit, most of those engines were specifically crafted for pos tacing
hmm i was under the impression they were spare/broken/reconditioned engines from transports/ ships.
Yea definitely looks that way but they kind of are like jet turbines and push air through them in order to move that wouldn’t work in vacuum. You would need either a old school chem rocket or gas propellant or a repulsor
