I know I havent been in these threads in a while since I got into the giant scales but there was always a project that I had that some might remember. Its the twin engine GTP. Well, Im proud to say that its finally fully done and ready. Here are some vids we shot last night of it running. Enjoy.

Yeah, the problem was that the throttle servo was mounted in a way that the brake had to work. Cant go fast without having to stop, so the brake was a priority. Then we had to figure out the throttle. Since the motors are so close together, the linkages were the issue because one motor would open up sooner then the other and when that happened, since the one that opened up first was trying to pull so much gearing, it would actually heat up the clutch shoes and burn them up. I was exaggerating a bit when I said it took so long but it honestly took a total of about 10 hours to figure and get the linkages right.

Pro, I didnt want to go with anything less and fail. If Id failed with those 2, then I know it just wasnt going to happen but to have failed with something that I knew was less, that would have had me trying again and again.
