This machine performs poorly unless it is boosting or is maintaining speed from a boost, dash plate, or mine explosion. It maintains high speeds from these events very well. You will therefore get passed by many of your opponents in the first lap and then will have to catch up in subsequent laps in most races. Avoid colliding with other vehicles at all costs because collisions with other vehicles will rob you of any leftover speed from a previous boost. Its good traction will help you avoid the other vehicles. Plan for where to use your boost to maximize its effectiveness.
