Default RE: Kershaw Designs - Comstock II 1/6 Scale Dual Brushless Monster Truck

Quite frankly, two motors is cooler than one. Nothing like lifting the hood and having two phat cans sat there.

Every truck I've ever seen with 2 motors hasn't really had a problem. Traxxas has to account for every eventuality if they are thinking of releasing a product to the public, hence the sync cable.

If someone builds a custom truck with two BL motors then they are likely to not mind repairing the damage that this setup can do. If you are going to release a truck to joe bloggs on the street, with a warranty then you HAVE to make sure it works under normal conditions without failure. The sync issue isn't huge, but a truck that will randomly sheer spur inputs or motor shafts every now and then isn't something that the average bloke/girl on the street with a fistful of $ will necessarily want to deal with.

Me, Access, Dan, J.D.T etc. won't have an issue. Incidentally I once fitted 2 feigao 9ls in an E-savage. It was insane but the drivetrain was screaming for mercy after around 40 seconds.
