Hey thanks Ray and Jairus :) .

Jairus, I've got a new project/thread ready I want to start and two past projects without painted bodies :blink: . Can you help :unsure: . I'll do one (the easier of the two ;) ) if you'll help and do the other :) . Are you available to help this "mechanical guy" get caught up???

UPDATE on Dual Motor Madness:

I thought this car would be a toad but with one piece of 1/16" thick lead added on the drop arm it flies. Even Eddie said, "That car runs good!"

This car runs so well I'm sure I'll be building another. Next time I'll take Jairus and Rodney's advice and make the motors spin opposite directions. I can set the crown gears up to make the axle bracket much narrower that way.

This one's.....DONE! :)

Here is something I built based on the K&B Challenger chassis and motors. I was looking through my parts box and someone at some time in the past had tried to put together 2 chassis, so I took that idea to the next logical step. Of cource the motors will turn in the opposite direction unless you switch the magnets around or run the wires reversed on one motor.

Speaking of dual motor madness: a pair of Strombecker Scuttlers in a 40 Ford (or Avengers...)

And this twin 13D (does that make it a 26DD?) in a Porsche Carrera 6...

Somehow, I think yours probably works a bit better Rick..
