Build Thread custom t-maxx chassis build up???

[nickel417]

I am wanting to possibly build my own chassis for my t-maxx to handle dual engines and build it to be a pulling truck. I need to know the best material to use and how is the easiest way to go about building the chassis? Does anyone have pics or know how to link up dual engines on a t-maxx?

New Era makes a conversion... if nothing else, some pics for you to look at:

IMO and E-Maxx would probably work better for that.

Just go down to your local steel shop and ask if they have any 1/8" aluminum plate. Find a desige and start cutting. I have made a few tmaxx chassis but not one for duel motors.

why not keep the stock chassis and put another motor where the ga tank is then all you have to do figure out the linkage becuz you just have to match the new motor to the old one the clutch bells will turn the same way and you dont have to buy nothing else but a new motor and motor mount and some linkage i did it with 2 2.5rs and it worked good ountill i needed one of the motor for a different car then i took it all apart hope this helps

Move the receiver over the steering servo, get a flat battery pack and ziptie it under the chassis, put the second fuel tank where the receiver was.

I used to use a hump pack and mount it on the front shock tower w/ zipties....
