Default compact, two motor tranny

i want a compact, single speed, dual motor tranny. something that wouldnt be too bulky for a tlt. am i gonna have to custom make it?

all i can think of is the twin force tranny, but its got the chain drive. has anyone modded a pede tranny or similar for dual motors?

Why do you want two motors? You really don't need two motors on something like a TLT.

Stock TXT tranny and the emaxx trannies should suit ya.... What kind of application are you looking to mount it in?

why would i need two motors? for personal reasons. i know one lathe motor is plenty..

ive shaved my TXT tranny and layed it on its side... works great. i guess this is on your build up rig huh? what is it?!? J/K who knows... you could be building a twin motor ZipZap for all we know... now a TXT tranny in a zip zap... That would be cool!!!!!

How about a custom tranny? Pede style internals, maybe even elminate the idler gear, but then you may have spur gear clearance issues. Gotta love MSPaint! (i have autocad, but that takes time!)

Mod a pede. behind the slipper clutch use a e maxx motor plate and find a way to mount it.

its not for a build off crawler, because i never got around to building one. work was too much.

i will probably have to make my own. i tried using a pede tranny, but the internals are shifted forward so it wouldnt mount easily. what i was thinking is basically what you posted zapper, but using maxx internals for strength.

so i think its a txt tranny, or i wait for the counterbore set to come in so i can mill bearing seats. once i can mill bearing seats the tranny plates can be made. i guess i should start collecting gears for the tranny.
