[Rene]

Here ya go

There are 2 XTM 247
2 12 tooth CB
2 fuel tanks
2 headers
2 pipes
twice the noise
twice the smoke



Roto start now Here



4Ws on one chanel my R1 takes care of over steer, ther eis a drive switch that i can set the Steering range on both positions



engines are centerd



10 Nicd rest on the front ( 2 5Cell Rx pack)





pict of my custom side plate moved the links out .5 inches front .5 to the rear, .5 inch down

If you look closely you see the empty holes where the tranny once mounted , now it mounts.5 inch higher and about .125 inch foward



Throttle linkage WORKS hahaha


The only thing that is in its original location are the front canti mounts, the steering servo, and the holes where the lower plates join the deck.


More picts will be taken soon and ill post asap


Enjoy the picts and let me know what you think, any input is smiled upon

Its probably not the best crawler but MAN that looks like fun!

What size/hp motors are in there? I love fast things

Rene- what are you mainly shooting for? crawler or speed demon?

are those .24 motors?

[Rene]

I am building it to grunt over things. I got stuck on a rock and melted a clutch about 4 months ago and decided one more engine is called for.


with one engine and the Kongs I went over a Railroad tie that was in a back yard. 11 inches, 90 degree of approach

There is a huge rock wall that inclines steeper as you move to one side at my school , that is the testing ground



yes they are .247 motors cranking out 2.4 Hp , and its geared down as low as possible with 12 tooch CBs and 52 tooth spur.

after I finish and tune the engines and do some testing ill stick the 48 spur and 18T CBs and adjust the suspension to get a top speed. I expect that in 1.5 months.

I also built this to prove some one incorret. I Can Build It
And i did

Thanks for the comments. any other questions feel free

I saw this one guy who stuck 3 of those XTM .247s in his T-MAXX.

was looking at this monster and got to thinking.........You could add 2 dual exhausts. That way there's 4 outlets! Quadruple the noise/smoke! HAHA!

How's that project coming along? I'm anxious to hear more!

[Rene]

thanks cman, I thought of that and just ran out of $ to buy another headder and pipe.


As of right now i am trying to tune the engines, but they keep loading up with oil from the headder pointed up as i have. I sounds great at idle and looks cool, but i dont have the power i can produce out of the power plants. I am working on headders that will not bog the engine and also thinking of drilling a hole in the headder and venting the oil via a fuel line that points down, like a dirt bike.


I saw the guy who did the 3 engine Tmaxx just last week and it look well built. the exhaust points streight out on that machine and also have thought about that as an option,

There is definatly more to come on this project and ill keep evryone up to date to the best of my ablity,

Ill try to post picts and am working on video. thanks
