The KRT 410C was a podracer model produced by Kurtob prior to the Invasion of Naboo. During the Boonta Eve Classic held before that conflict, a KRT 410C was piloted by the assassin Kam Nale—otherwise known as Elan Mak.

CharacteristicsEdit

The machine was outclassed by most other racers after its discontinuation, having lower speed, loose control, and very lax traction compared to other racing machines circa 40BBY. The KRT had semi-decent acceleration but if the machine had one potentially redeeming factor, it was its Top-Boost threshold which more than doubled the design's intended limits. This meant the 410C could potentially max-out around 820kph, stock, but this was as they say "only with a strong gust of wind going behind it" as this speed tended to overheat the engines. Speeds over 1000 kph have also been recorded utilizing its overdrive "design flaw", but these were achieved only after intense and very expensive modifications. In addition, the 410C sported retro asymmetrical engine housings, plus a bulky diagnostic computer mounted on the right side of the driver's compartment to plot course paths .

HistoryEdit

Just prior to the Invasion of Naboo this model was notorious for its lackluster performance, despite being well suited for advanced pilots during its original production, but that was some 40 years before the Boonta Eve Classic of young Anakin Skywalker's fame.

Although few pilots hold the 410C in high esteem, there are small circles of enthusiasts who praise its unique combination of loose handling and superior overdrive capabilities. In obscure instances these traits even proved to be a winning combination for seasoned pilots. Victories such as these, utilizing comparitively out-dated craft to pass all opponents, were known to happen but they were rare. Kam Nale however finished fifth in the Boonta Eve Classic podrace when using this model.
