twin .15 tmaxx on .21 hardcore chassis
HEy guys
i just got a .21 chassis drilled to accept two ported .15 trx motors for my tmaxx. an di upgraded to a metal spurgear and titanium turnbuckles, rpm arms and i reenforced the 2 tranny axels do y ou think this will be enough or do you think that setup will destroy the stock gears? also do you think tg=his will have enough power to pull wheeliesat will? also shold i set up the tranny with forward only gears and upgrade to an all metal geared tranny and my last question is should i run both motor off of one big tank or have two seperate tanks, which will be easier to tun id like to only have one tank but I think that may creat a problem with the back pressure etc...
please give some feedback on this guys, I anxious to finsh tis project
Thanks

I may attempt a twin my self.I have 2 TRX15's that could use a rebuild.
When I do those I might attempt it.
Let me know how yours turns out.
Got any pics?

2 tanks will be necessary because when you start the first engine the pressure will flood the engine that is not running. Yes, it should wheelie with a blip of the throttle. Yes, you will torch the gears and the drivelines. You should upgrade the parts you break when you break them. Good Luck.
Post some pic's if you can.

If you really want to get creative, you might find some ideas at my website that are useful. I have just recently updated the pics and will be adding more in the near future. Below the sample pic you will find a link to my webpage. :idea:

Hardcore .21 chassis
When I started this whole T-maxx thing, my first hop up was an OS .21 rg in a hardcore chassis. About every other tank, I was stripping spur gears. I installed an RP steel gear, no more stripped spurs, BUT..........I was now tearing up clutch bell gears no matter how I set the clearance. I found that when one wheel is lifted off the ground (as in a wheelie or a jump) The chassis flexed so bad that the engine was moving away from the spur in one direction and jamming the bell and spur together in the other. Bottom line...Titanium is strong but not very rigid...I don't know the better alternative, besides doing what I did, make one out of aircraft aluminum.....
