DAMN
All i have to sayto 3dmaxx is DAMN! what a badass. that thing sounds soooooooooo sweet. my god i love it!!!! it sounds a lot better than those 2 stroke hornet sounding things. it sounds cool. hey could u do a drag video with your truck and like either gpmaxx or like someone with a normal .15 maxx or a 2.5 maxx? that would be cool to see you burn them.

Sick, sick, sick, that's all i can say about those trucks. I'm not one to usually gape over rc cars (it takes ALOT to impress me), but i can say that both of you fellas got sweet sweet machines. If and when (i guess it would be a BIG if) you guys ever decide to sell it, lemme know, you definitely have a prospective buyer here :P. I could always try and build one, but that's what i do with real cars and don't have the time or patience (doing that to RC cars doesn't really pay the bills <--- especially when you keep on breaking em :P).

Specialize mainly in Jap imports. I actually own a 450 hp car (plus an 80hp shot of nos), and build 600+ hp skylines and supras, on almost a regular basis (once or twice a month). We usually churn out more sedate cars (ones that see 200 - 400 hp) on a regular basis .

my dad has been working on a 66 nova with 500+ horse power small block. I make hotrod weedwackers and gokarts motors for minibikes and stuff.

great looking trucks guys, but a few questions?? i have been considering a twin myself, but with the OS .15 cv-x. they are only .68 hp. I have one now and was going to upgrade to a picco or fantom, but going a twin is very tempting. My question is how is the drivability of these with twins. Jumping, cornering etc, verse single engine. with the os cv motors i don't think i will have a problem with totally over powering the truck but hoped to get a good wheely machine that will still run good on my atv track, jumps and etc. and will run with the new 2.5 better than it does now.
thanks
Jon
thanks

You can run with the new 2.5 for much less than building a twin, look at the new XTM .18 with the Sirio pipe, you would have a truck that's as fast if not faster than the 2.5 for less than $150. I can't recommend a twin to anybody as an everyday runner, they take alot more work to get running right. If you are running a few trucks and want to do something different then by all means build a twin.

hey great looking truck an dgreat inovation
lemme ask you guys a few questions.
since its two pull starts, and you start them seperatly, what happens when oen is started and the other isnt? does the clutch bell spin backwards on the non-started one? explain that real quick if you could.
also if one engine stalls, what kind of stress is put on the gears? do you come right into the pits or is it ok to drive that thing with one running?
about the front wheels lifting. i only have 2wd st's. are 4wd's set up with most power going to the rear wheels and the fronts geared to take less power? or are all front and back gears to take the same power? if back takes more of the power/torque anyway for you guys to gear it differently?
thanks and again awesome trucks

Well, the nova was pretty fast with a straight 6 and the powerglide. it weighs 2600lbs to be exact. I decided not to put the500 hp engine in yet, because i have a turbo 350 and im worried about how much power it can take. When i rebuild the powerglide ill put the powerful motor in. Sorry to hear about wreck. I hope we never wreck this one.

With your clutch burning problem, I thought about that with a gokart i had. It used to burn up cluthces too. What we did was run a 12 tooth sprocket from the engine with a chain to a jackshaft which had a 9 tooth sprocket. Then we put antoher 14 tooth clutch on the shaft, then over to the axle. It put much less torque on the clutch and they didnt get so hot all the time. You could also do something like this with your truck, or even use 2 clutches per motor.

burnt clutches?
If you are having problems burning clutches, I would change to aluminum 3 or 4 shoe and drill the clutch bells on the outs side and on the face with 4 1/8 inch holes so the air moves thru them immediatedly when you let off the throttle. aluminum dissipates heat faster than any other clutch material out there. I have been using the 4 shoe setup and have turned the clutchbells blue (too tall of a gear) and still have not changed shoes in over a year. Oh yeah, and I am running a 14 1/2 lb all metal truck.

You guys need a life....LOL. I love that video. I want to see more also. I love the way that thing just takes off and to know you arent even trying to do anything with it. Of course, running with a bunch of rookies helps make your truck look ten times better than it should :P Its still an awesome truck. When you get around to it, show us more video.

TWin 2.5's
I've been trying to get my hands on another trx 2.5 to make my t-maxx a twin 2.5 but that ain't goin to be soon.(no job and I only make 20 bucks a week)
I think it would be pretty fast and strong with all those rpms and power.
I am not to experienced and probably shouldn't do it but that ain't going to stop me.
I'm going to build it even if it takes me years.
One question= where can I get one of those trannies you guys have on your twins?
