I dont see why you would want to. It would add more unnecessary weight, and you can get all the torque you need out of a single motor.

Seems pointless to me honestly. One motor is really all you're gonna need. The drawbacks are probably draining your battery a lot faster and added unnecessary weight. Why not just buy a better single motor? Not busting your chops, I just really think it's kinda pointless.

One motor and two trannys would be more practical. Then you could have front and rear dig if you wanted.

That's what I tried to get him to look at K. Guess they don't want too.

Actually to build a set of Axial axles that hold up and compare to Bergs it is $250 +/- a few bucks. And still the MOA axles are still alot stronger. Hell the new Hot Racing MOA axles seem like a steel!
