Strategies

This machine has the worst armor and traction out of all of the machines in the game. This combination makes this machine one of the worst machines in the game for the grand prix mode because this makes avoiding other vehicles and mines difficult, and the damage from hitting these things add up. Savvy opponents driving heavier machines including the CPU will ram into this vehicle in order to slam it into a wall to deal critical damage to this machine, so you need to be aware of your surroundings.

Master blast turns so you can take corners quickly.

Plan your boosts carefully so you have enough distance to try to avoid sudden obstacles like mines and other vehicles when boosting.
