00:12All right, Shade, let's talk land speeders.
00:17You might know the everyday basics, but racing them in the Galactic League kicks everything
00:23up a gear.
00:23As the first repulsor craft you'll be climbing into, they are fast and formidable.
00:31In regular steering, yeah, it might not be as immediately responsive without upgrades
00:36or custom parts to enhance their performance, but the drift is the land speeders' secret
00:42weapon.
00:43Build momentum and hit the right line, and you'll glide around corners without losing
00:48speed.
00:49In a scrap, it's your tank, it can take a proper wallop before it starts coughing
00:55up system malfunctions, and is less susceptible to steer and jerk on impact.
01:00But it's not invulnerable, hit too many walls and you'll need to carry out repairs on the
01:05fly.
01:06The Shade.
01:07We won't be there to fix it!
01:10Speed-wise, it's not the quickest of the line, but it's a great generalist with a boost that
01:16hits hard.
01:18It's got some weight too, so work on perfecting those landings off jumps.
01:22And don't forget about your ramjet!
01:27All speeders have them.
01:29They'll give you an incredibly powerful burst of speed that can be used to gain advantage
01:34in a race.
01:35Or, offensively, to turn your land speeder into a battering ram.
01:42Get me the right part, and I can craft a build, I'll take the ramjet to places you've only
01:47dreamt of.
01:49Well, careful, they overheat.
01:51Push that red line too much, and we'll be scraping parts off the track for weeks.
01:56Water and colder environments can cool it down so it'll last longer.
02:00Just be sure you don't sacrifice speed for control, because if you're speeder, I sizzle,
02:05it'll steer heavier than a rancor with a sore foot.
02:09In short, it's beefy, drifty, and can be customized to suit your style.
02:16Get out on the track, and give it a whirl!
02:21Woo!
