Earth Team Star-Racers
Whizzing Arrow I — Prototype racer built at Miguel's Garage by Miguel, Stan, and
Koji. Purchased by Don Wei for the Great Race. It has very powerful engines but
unsteady and untested. Rick Thunderbolt pilots the Arrow I in the Earth Team's
first race on Alwas. Near the end of the race, the port engine explodes causing
the racer to crash in a flaming wreck across the finish line. The Arrow I cannot
be salvaged.
Whizzing Arrow II — Sister ship to the Whizzing Arrow I. Purchased by Don Wei
for the Great Race. Subtle advances over the Arrow I make the ship more stable.
The Arrow II also boasts an orange and red flaming paint job, along with the
addition of a sharp-toothed rabbit that Molly painted on in 'Surprising Like
SuperRacer', compared with the Arrow I's flat green color. The Arrow II serves
as the Earth Team' primary racer during the preliminaries and most of the
semi-finals on Alwas. It suffers severe damage throughout the competition
numerous times but is constantly repaired by Stan and Koji. During the semifinal
race against the Fihl Ambassador, Spirit, the Arrow II is damaged beyond repair
when a crash literally tears it to pieces.
Whizzing Arrow III — New racer built on Alwas by Stan and Koji with the help of
native Skrub mechanics to replace the lost Arrow II. The Arrow III is far more
advanced than both Arrow I and Arrow II but maintains the same overall shape of
the previous racers. Major upgrades include it being safer, more stable and a
good deal faster than the Arrow II while in cruising mode. Also, a new
Hyperdrive developed by Stan and Koji back on Earth but not implemented until
after the Arrow II's crash which uses 'clustered turbines' for a far greater
thrust that allows the Arrow III to far exceed the Arrow II in speed. The new
Hyperdrive is physically very different from its predecessor too, forming
numerous turbines and wings all around it. A larger fuel supply also allows the
Hyperdrive to be used for longer periods of time.
