RE: Twin 3.3 revo early prototype
the linkage looks ok but im not sure how it would work as i have NEVER seen a revo other than the internet you should consider scraping the stock chassis engine layout can you get the picture for me and i will show you whAT i mean lol and no i dont have a twin maxx but it would be piss easy lol as the gear box is centeral and the chassis is perfectley flat lol (well mine was till the picco.26 met the wall at wot)

RE: Twin 3.3 revo early prototype
in reply to Clymer: ^^^ Also though about it, but how do you get the power over to the spur gear which is located 1/3 of the distance between the two engines, near the left engine?
The t-maxx have a very large spur gear I have seen which this was so easy!

RE: Twin 3.3 revo early prototype
why don't you get that new emaxx tranny, it would be really easy to mount two motors, and it would take alot less engineering. I was thinking that you could mount the engines at a slant, to keep the CG low, and keep them from sticking out of the top. kind of like this: \^/ with the ^ as the tranny and the slashes as the engines of course there was one guy on here that had a maxx with 4 enginse, a savage with two, and some others I think. can't remember his name though. do a search, you might find something.

Is it a pure drop in?
I need to figure out gear ratio.
Question 2, how much can you slant the engines without affecting them somehow?

E-maxx Stock final drive: 28.91/17.95
NewE-maxx Stock final drive: N/A / 18.67
Could work out.
There is no disc-brake thingie!! [:@]
The e-maxx tranny sits in front whereas revo tranny sits in the middle->rear. [X(]

RE: Twin 3.3 revo early prototype
If you need any prototype parts, at school we have this machine were you can design your part and it will make it out of plastic that s a little bit stronger than stock plastic, the only down side is that it will cost about 20 bucks.

RE: Twin 3.3 revo early prototype
Looks good but your gonna have to switch to alum shocks ends other wise they are gonna melt and your not gonna have alot of room for a fuel tank from what i can see in that pic.

Iam currently doing an experiment turning the shocks backwards out to the rear of the chassis to get them out of the way.

RE: Twin 3.3 revo early prototype
OK, the tranny goes forward 10mm and the suspension points backwards, iam making a prototype of the suspension and gonna do some test how it performs.
If this works out. The enigines can sit side by side with 40T/15T and some twiddling with the engine mounts..
PIcs later today..
