I've removed the tan parts, but have not added wire. To hold the engines
together, you can use Technic pins in the "Energy beams" -- not perfect,
but it works. You'll need two hands to fly the pod-racer (one for the
engines, one for the "cabin"), but it ooks much nicer than with all the
tan parts.
Mostly, I've just accepted that pod-racers work better in POV-Ray than
in real life :)
