I should have one of the differentials mounted tomorrow. Both is out of the question because I have work tomorrow at 530!!! So I only have from 3 after skool to 530 to work on it. I dont know if I want to anodize the chasssi or not. I probably will. Like black or a dark dark blue.

if i were to put big motors in i would either use the trinity .21 or .23 i think it is or 2 picoo p2 or 2 picoo 01 comps. but i dont have that kinda money to spend on motors for one bashing car

RE: Dual Engine RS4 3 SS Pics!!!!
i had an os cvr going about 55 and my tr .12 hits 68 the os .18 should rocket a street car to the low 80' considering its faster than the fantom .18 and that motor rockets thew 4 tec to an easy 73+. so 2 os .18 would be a good idea except they are side port eniges and the configeration for the manfolds would be different and alter the performance of one engine so they wouldnt run the same so i am probably gonna use 2 os tr .12 r specs cause they are faster than the regular tr's

RE: Dual Engine RS4 3 SS Pics!!!!
seeing as were talking about engines id like to ask wether i could put a .18 engine in my ts4n which currently has a .15 engine fitted?
also how long do engies last if i was running it in a car park a few times a week and taking good care of it ?

a .18 will fit it has the same size block as the .12's and .15's. ok if you take care of your engine and dont abuse it it could last from anywhere to 2 gallonds to 2 or 3 years!!! i have had an engine last 1 month 
i lvoede that engine. it was the os cvr .15 hyper ran it everyday hard!!! was soo much fun!!!

why not just use ONE of these http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXEPH9&P=0 or one of these http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCSZ8&P=0 . you'll save weight,and probably get more power, not to mention, one engine is easier to tune than two.
i dont think i'd ever drive(or start) the second one, its just 2 darn pretty.

RE: Dual Engine RS4 3 SS Pics!!!!
why make a 2 engine rs43 anyway. why don't u just get a 21. conversion much easier, cheaper, non time consuming and most importantly FASTER!
