| dual gds with a motor on each would make alot of torque, it would also be a waist of batts. one is enough. |

| 1 or 2 motors What motor you plan on running? What size tire? What pinion you plan on running? Give a little more details in your questions please. I mean,running a stock can,tall pinion and Kongs,it might be O.K. Running a Lathe or MM 9t pinion and 6" tires it might be a little overkill. I believe theres alot of variables that could be played to grant using 2 GD600's. At the same time,theres alot of variables that would grant 1 GD being pleanty. I'm running 1 GD and it's fine,for me,but with a different setup,I could see where 2 GD's would work also. Oh,and in my honest opinion,it would take A WHOLE LOT of torque to be concidered to much in a crawler. Torque is your freind,find the happy medium between have a ton of torque and a decent amount of wheelspeed,in order to "bump it" up an obsticle at times,and your golden. |

| i found the difference in running two motors and two gd600's is small if you can get the power out of one try that |

| GD 600 with lathe motor all you need is a gd 600 and a lathe motor all the power you ever need and much less weight than a 2 motor set up. |

| Ditto to what Trans Am said. I'm running to GD's and a Brushless. The brushless has more torque than My truck can handle! With two lbs. of bb's in the front tires, I managed to twist the tranny output shaft. I could'nt believe it. When I come back from vacation, i'll post pics. To much torque just brakes parts! |

| Here's a pic of the tranny. The reason it ended up like that is because of two GDs, Kongs, BB's and a Brushless. I could'nt believe it. With the Brushless the two GD's provide reliability and drag. I don't have to use the brake as much. Going down hill is real slow.  |
