Triple engine!?!?!?

[suppaduppa]

:idea: Has anyone seen the Triple engine T-Maxx in this months Radio Control Car Action. That thing is BAD Ass with 7hp+ holyshit!!!!!!! I wish I could find a pic.

I scanned them on my flatbed... triple xtm 24.7's on a maxx.

 

[vbgagnon]

Thats just freakin nuts. WOW

 

[SkyMaxx]

Impressive!

But I can't help but ask...Why?

 

[Lessen]

and I thought my project was overkill

 

[Ryhton]

That is just insane.

 

[drummerjamesh]

meh...thats alotta engines to tune but itd be sooo cool

 

[hb1111]

it would be hell of a nitemare keeping them all tuned,starting them all, and fixing the transmission...lol

oh yeah and changing the spur gear if it gets stripped

 

[ADDAndy]

Tuning 2 engines......ewwwwwww
Tuning 3 engines......super ewwwwwww
But I'm used to the TRX 2.5 which dosen't keep a tune for hell.

I'm Good With One Engine

 

[ADDAndy]

How are all the engines started?

 

[Lessen]

oh yeah and changing the spur gear if it gets stripped

Let's just do away with the spur all together! Hook the tranny to the CB and let her loose!

 

[Nitro_Freak]

i get more than enough power from one 24.7, i can't imagine 3!! add that to the t-maxx's subpar reliability with 1 .21, let alone 3 24.7's, and i can't imagine what trouble the owner must go through. still, gotta give him props for attempting and succeeding something llike that, pretty fricken awesome imo

 

[Easy-MAXX]

will it ever get used or just be a shelf queen...lol i can talk.
i`d bet the rear bodymount would get rather soft with the heat produced by 3 mills so close together

 

[Lessen]

Olds, any stats on that thing... just curious. Top speed? 0-60 maybe? Obviously it's a drag truck... gotta be a 3 speed but can't tell from the pics

 

[Arrow]

it could just be one REALLLLLLLY tall gear

 

[olds97_lss]

I don't think it's a 3 speed. All the article says is that he used the MGT spur and XTM cb along with RRP steel in the trans.

 

[NooP]

I wonder if I could do that in my rs4.

[SilentHunterKellen]

I doubt its a three speed. I think the 3 engines would be fine with just one speed. Off the start the three put a nice amount of torque so the first low gear ratio isnt really needed. I'm guessing its just a top geared monster because that would definitely extend the drivetrain life.

 

[Lessen]

yeah, you're right about not needing the 1st low gear... it would jus rip right through it. but I can't imagine it with only one gear.
