Status: offline 		I guess "power" is relative.

I don't think ANY twin/triple/quad is FASTER or QUICKER than their single engine equivalent. Would they win a tug of war? Probably, but that is not just related to power, but also involves the huge WEIGHT difference that is present. The extra engine, tank, fuel, pipes, gears, custom engine mounts all combine to add so much weight that performance specs goes DOWN, not up!

Multi-engine trucks are ego-trips. They look cool, sound cool, and draw people at the track who say "OOOH". Then they turn around and whip your ass in a race!

For ANY practical use, they'd just be a pain. But there's no rule that you should be practical, and ego-trips can be a blast. I'm not being judgemental, but I personally would rather put my money into a new truck/buggy.

Status: offline 		Don't you break enough parts with your single motor P2 powered TMaxx?

You could simulate having two motors easily enough:

1. Take the TMaxx to the field.
2. Get a big hammer.
3. Repreatedly hit the truck with the hammer.
4. Drive to the LHS and get replacement parts.

Status: offline 		Or you could buy me an emaxx. lol I wonder how long the stock drivetrain would last? I say not even 1 tank, any takers? With a beefed up drivetrain you could but why not just have 1 real big block. Like the Picco P3 .26
