Could someone please give me some advise before this auction closes…

Seems pretty cheap and I’ve been looking for one for a long time. It’s a hell of a lot cheaper than Tower’s price of $454.99. How can they sell it so cheap, is it defective? Anyway, I want to bid on it, but I want to hear from someone who actually owns it. It seems like all the comments I read are on the crappy Truckzilla .46 kit with the helicopter engine. No one seems to actually have the dual engine .26 kit. It’s not new, is it? The few who do, say it’s awesome and that the engines perform like a dual wasp .26. Does anyone have this engine, single or dual, and can you give me some feedback? I don’t want to miss this opportunity. All of the kits on ePay sold for $350+ but it looks like this one will stay low. I guess no one wants it because the box was open. LOL, good for me. Long story short, I want to hear from someone who has the kit, or from someone who has the engine. I’d appreciate it. Thanks. And if no one has a comment, I’ll be the guinea pig. I have a $75 .21 roller that I can use. Why the hell not? No guts, no glory. Wish me luck. LOL

BTW, duals must sound awesome! Ever hear a dual engine go kart… LOL :whhooo:
 
My advice is dont do it. If you are new to nitro tunning 1 engine wioll be hard enough. You think it will be real fast... it wont. The secound engine is just carrying its own weight. Therer is two days left in the bid so 10 minutes before its over a lot of people are going to come out of no where and jack the price up.
 
the twin engines arent that much faster unless you really change the gearing but they do have WAY more bottom and take off.. it looks like a clean ride and a DAMN GOOD price but it will jump.. as all good autions do.. i wouldnt be suprised to see this thing top 6 or 7 hundred befor its over..
 
If you look real close it says you will not get the savage 25 just the kit to make a savage that way. I am in agreement with pierow as two engines may be fun and fast but if you are not a good tuner, this may be a nightmare for you. IMO.
 
It would seem to use alot of fuel which could get costly also imo :)

Good point. Tires are going to be worn out faster and bearings. Crashes can be more costly. But Heck if you have the cashola and the tuning hat go for it.
 
I would be in big trouble with both of those issues tunning and exspecily the $$$$. It would sit in a closet and collect dust for me hehe
 
You ought to pass or if ya just got to have some sick power, drop $325 for a Navarossi .28.8port, it has enough power to break things! And it's a lot easier to tune with speeds easily in the mid 50 mph range!

50 mph?.28 NROSSI 2.9HP in what-hope your not refering to a savage.Anyway I would agree with these guys,it is not a beginner setup.I own 2 limited edition ofna twin titans and I can tell ya this about twin engines.They sound really cool-like a sworm of bumble bees-they make awsome power,and whoever said that 2 doesn't make it faster needs to try it.Twice the power allows the truck to pull more rpm's.No engine pulls it's rated rpm's in a vehicle being driven unless it is a very light r/c.I have spent thousands on r/c building and have upgraded many.I am a freind of Brandon,from Hot Bodies and he told me that the twin truckzilla is insane.He wanted me to convert my .46 truckzilla to the twin.But I don't think that I will do that anytime soon since I already have 2 twins.Bottom line is that it is really cool and fun,but it is harder to get 2 started and twice the fuel consumption 2 glow plugs well 2 of everything.If you want the baddest truck around you then that would be for you.Good luck with your choice and have fun.RUSS :)
