I've seen some vids of a dual .21 Savage and if you think about it, all you're gonna gain is some acceleration. Both the engines are still gonna ultimately turn the same rpm as a single, so I cant see gaining any top speed, which is what most of the Maxx freaks seem to cling to. Like I said, you will gain some takeoff so you'll get to top speed faster, but you will have basically the same top speed once it gets there.

Just my thought on it.

Yeah, I saw the dual Savage vids too. I would have designed it to have a lot of top speed and have regular accelertion. Otherwise, it's pointless!

Actually if you think about it... you have 2 times the tq/hp ... even though its at a given RPM its going to be able to pull more gear. So.. through on a bigger bell. It will be able to pull the higher gear and have more top end.

The idea is to then alter the gearing. You'll be able to pull much much more gear. Also, exessive top speed on a MT it like **** on a bull, completely useless, unless your a fast and the furious ricer. Otherwise, get an on road car.

i thought i was the only person with a mod. MP. nj on that truck. what engine does it have? and i noticed you still have your swaybars. just throw them away, they just make the inside tires losen up when you turn. you dont even notice the chassis roll with them off.

Isphus - you don't even know what you are talking about do you? Swaybars keep the truck from flipping over! I have taken the front off, but you still need the back. You have yet to race, otherwise you would notice that your car flips sooo much easier without them.

That's right. You will flip so much easier without them that I can't stay with the 1/8 buggies unless we all take off the swaybars!
