Wow, impressive. I've always wanted to do something like that, but I was thinking of two or possibly three engines. Neither my wallet nor I have ambitions as high as his! What a project!!

Interesting his choice of Delrin gears heh? I also think a single, common carb would be more feasible, and why all the gas tanks???

running nitro and pressured tanks tank volume is a bit critical. Probably easier to keep them matched than to go through figuring out what size a tank would be right and pressure right for 5 engines. just my guess...

I am guessing the multiple tank setup is way simpler than anyone has been thinking, at first I was puzzled, then I thought wait a minute.... all glow motors run best when the tank isn't to high/low mounted in relation to the motor, its the same thing we do with simple setups, just five times over..

My guess

I would have gone with one tank with a large outlet, with "T's" to the various engines, and a pump I believe.
