Thrust Coils were Podracer parts that dictated the maximum velocity a pod could achieve. Certain Thrust Coils encompassed lines such as the Plug series of Thrust Coils, and the Block Thrust Coil product line. Enhanced Thrust Coils provided greater top speeds, although their performance would diminish if they sustained damage; certain pilots determined that employing a lower-quality Thrust Coil was preferable to competing with a compromised one.
