The Hutt Clan's annual X Champions Race! [2 MOCs]

[Evilkirk]

As a Star Wars Lego fan since 1999, I have a confession to make: I've recently been buying Speed Champions cars - I love them!
Aside from going vroom vroom all over my desk, the MOC parts found in Speed Champions sets are superb + some of the techniques they use are absolutely amazing, so I've learned from them too ...and then I thought "Speed Champions = GOOOD! Star Wars = GOOOD! So why not combine them? ...aaand here we are.

Backstory imagined whilst building: Since the fall of the Emperor, the Hutts have developed a great interest in X-Wing fighters - but only as racing fighters! Now every year, a different planet is chosen for this highly illegal and deadly dangerous race to be held there. The race track is simply one whole lap around the equator of the chosen planet and racers are allowed to blow each other to pieces to win, if necessary.

START YOUR ENGINES + PLACE YOUR BETS! It's time for the annual Hutt-Space X CHAMPIONS Race!
THE RACE RULES:
*Use of all weapons are allowed against other racers.
*1 pilot + 1 astro droid only.
*Pilots can be of any race in the galaxy, but no jedi poodoo.
*Use of hyperdrive and flying over 200km above the planet surface are strictly forbidden.
*All ships must be "X-Wing" format. No limits on size or weaponry, as long as it has X Wings and you can fly it with 1 pilot.
*The race winner will receive 10 million Pegats!
*Hutt Clan bonus of 500k Pegats to ground-based rocket/cannon shooters able to take down any low flying racers.
May the best racer survive!

A great mash-up for sure!

I'm the opposite with regard to Speed Champions.  My fist purchase will be the DeLorian, and could be my last unless they do more stuff like the BTTF.  Either way, the studless detail on these are fantastic - super clean.  I'm not sure which one I like more...prob the color scheme and detail on the Dark X, especially on the hood and behind the cockpit.  These would fit right in ripping around the equator of Coruscant.  Helga & R-Toobad are awesome!

Thanks mate - cars from Earth + Star Wars are an unusual mash-up, but I just wanted to see if it was do-able

Oh boy,  those are super nice mashups / crossovers. Love them, even though not being a hc SW nor car brand fan.. But those are super nice. Also the shots were done to allow good perspectives. Well done, Sir!

Great builds, im a huge fan of the F4000!

In my head the Dark X would have a rear mounted turret for the droid to control, like what is on the Y-wing or al lot of the WW2 bombers.

The pilots look awesome too!

Thank you very much! I'd hate to spend all that time designing a build and making instructions and then let it all down with bogus pics

Thanks!! Honestly, I really was thinking about a turret for the Mustang, but with those 2 big fat pewpewz on the front and 4 wing guns already, I was scared about 'overgunning' it lol

The other thought which came to my mind what might still be added as a possibly fitting 3rd version: A space version of the 90s Batman animated series, as his batmobile has the very streched body already. Think that would work well together.
