if you are new to the hobby, i wouldn't suggest a car w/ 2 motors.
Way too expensive, and alot easier to break.

But then again I have broken my single motor cars as well and the dual motor system isn't that complex.

RE: Dual Motor RCs
hpi e-savage,traxxas e-maxx, tamiya twin detonator, clodbuster, and TXT-1.
owned them all other than the e-savage. saying dual motor cars break easier is BS, they break just as much as my other cars..
more expensive yeah to a point, because dual motored cars are usually bigger and has more parts, but come on.. this is hobby IS expensive to begin with...

RE: Dual Motor RCs
I'd have to agree with mindwreck, and here's a list of the dual motored vehicles that I know of...
Twin Detonator
Twin Dagger
Double Blaze
Dual Hunter
Clodbuster
Super Clodbuster
TXT-1
E Maxx
E Savage
Twin Force (I think?)
Tamiya's tank series (not that it applies to most people)
And there's one by MRC, can't recall the name.

Two motors= twice the drivetrain parts.
Twice the drivetrain parts=Something is more likely to break.

RE: Dual Motor RCs
There are two types of dual motor trucks. Some have one motor and drivetrain on each axle, like the clod, and some, like the emaxx and e-savage, have two motors on one spur gear and the drivetrain is the same as it would be with one motor.

But the e-savage, e-maxx, txt, etc all drive the same spur gear so like the guy above said, there is no difference in parts except the motor itself and a pinion.
