RE: Official Pro-Pulse Thread
for me, id go brushless over twin motors. you'll get longer run times and the power is in the batteries. plus i don't think you can run two hot motors on the stock esc.

RE: Official Pro-Pulse Thread
well i got it all done. i took it to the beach last night and it was bad azz. i took some pics but didnt have time to upload them. ill do it tonight.i cant wait to get either the twin motors or brushless. im really skeptical. i dont want it to go so fast that i cant keep up with it, but then again i like the look of the twinn motors. but i also want to be able to haul azz and whip the competition if the challenge ever arises. so i dunno i may just be patient and see if anyone sells the setup that you have on ebay, then ill pick it up. or maybe i can get my girlfriend to get it for me haha.

Well I'm with Inverted now these things are bad news. I ordered RC18T shock towers... Didn't fit with out some heavy modding. Top plate for the RC18T didn't fit. and last but not least the RC18T alloy dogbones don't fit! [>:]

mine fit, you have to use the little springs that rc18 use in their diff output, i run the alloy dogbones with the rc18 spring in the output and it works just like it does on a rc18t

Which propulse do you have the truck? People that have the propulse truck seem to fit fine but I have the buggy. [&o] I used the spring in the diff and it still didn't work.

Ah, good to know. I was gonna snag some MIP RC18 diffs, anyone happen to know if their diff kit includes said springs? I'm assuming it is the spring that is part of the #21115 rebuild kit shown to the right of the diff in this exploded view: http://aedownloads.com/downloads/dra...g_18b.mt.t.pdf

for posting pics, i just use photobucket works great.
ae dog bones fit just fine in these without mods. i don't use the springs, i use fuel tubing as the springs just didn't work as well for me in any car. the springs that come in the mip super diff kit are for the ball diff adjustment screw, not the outdrives so no it doesn't come with any.

Another question. On the reciever in the car there are 4 areas to plug things in. 1-aux. 2-esc. 3-steering. 4-batt. Only two are being used, the esc and steering, What would you need a battery one for and what aux. items are there that need a power outlet?

its basically a standard 3 channel reciever. you only use 2 because you're using it in an electric car. if you where running in something like a tmaxx with reverse then the esc would be for the throtle servo, steering would go there and aux would be for the servo that shifts the trans to reverse. also nitro cars batts plug straight into the esc after passing the on/off switch. somebody correct me if i listed anything wrong(having some shiner bock on my day off work).

RE: Official Pro-Pulse Thread
honestly i believe there isn't really a need to. with my setup, i an simply amazed that the car is holding together as is. bl power is simply unbelievible when compaired to the stock motors these cars where built to handle. i'm running a 300watt wraith 7k motor on 2cell lipo and its just sick. one day i'll venture into 3cell. i can make the car look like somebody ran up and did a foot ball kick off with it almost from a stand still with its violent flipping over. also i can still pull the front up and over from speeds fast than stock. i really don't think dual bl motor's torque would be usible in any way shape or form. even if its a full aluminum optioned car.

What is limiting someone from running dual brushless motors, aside from money?

-Ive already orderd them
-i torqued a few dogbones in half with the dual motor upgrade
-i dont know where to buy replacement propulse dogbones
will xmod spings cut down work as the rc18t springs? I've tried the springs in the diff and they fit just fine.

RE: Official Pro-Pulse Thread
i herd to use rubber fuel line that is used on nitro cars and a spacer or whatever instead of springs and that works good from what i herd. how do you like the dual motor setup? i am seriously thinkin of gettin one. can you post a pic of what it looks like?
