Here is my 3 engine Maxx. It has 3 XTM 24.7 engines and most of the truck is custom made. At 8.1 HP it is a handfull, but fun. Most people ask if it runs on all 3 and yes it does through 1 spur gear. It represents a lot of time and money spent, but who wants a stock truck anyway right?

Each throttle has its own micro servo, I tried to do it with 1 but there was too much play in the linkage. Its fast, not sure exactly how fast but with 8 HP it will stand on the bars at about any speed. Hopefully soon I will post a short video and new pics.

Couple months ago another member was posting same pics (I forget which member) and he was claiming it was his.

I just remember the pics - I could not remember who posted it. I showed it to my wife and she turned to me and asked if she could get one with the EZStart.

then why dont you elaborate with your extreme displeasure of being around other people who like their t-maxxes? exactly why DO you hate them so? personally i think you got own3d by one in a race, and are in fear of being thought of as inferior, am i wrong?
