Hey Skillett, that sounds awesome to follow up this project with a twin engine one. Can't wait. Keep up the good work.

Yes the truck is built in my head already, just need to buy a few parts then I can build it. However I'm not going to start until I max out the single engine platform. Robin said he might drive down just to hear two ERCM Piccos with endbleeds screaming there guts out lol. I can only imagine now but I'm sure the sound of twin endbleeds will be very sexy. If I can reach the speed my current goal is set at then I don't think 100 would be out of the question with twin motors. Everything up to now has been one discovery after another.

I've been planning a twin engine for a couple months now myself, I already have a rough tvp design drawn out. (that's why I was asking you about making tvp's, lol) I always wanted one since I got my first savage. Mine won't be too crazy though, im not building it for pure mph although am curious what it will run. Likely just 2 losi 454's and might spring for dual sidebleeds. Snookman's twin setup on the traxxas forum is sick with the dual curved endbleeds.
I guess great minds think alike.

I know exactly what you mean. I have afew other projects I told myself i'd finish before I start a new one. Twin engine savages were super popular in the mid 2000's but seem to be a trend that died out after the introduction of crazy modded picco's and nova's and insane brushless power. 8 years ago everyone was doing twin engine savages and now you never see them.
