louder Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 so I found http://cgi.ebay.com/Hot-Bodies-Lightning-GTX2-RTR-w-Dual-26-Nitro-Engines-/110497216704?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Radio_Control_Vehicles&hash=item19ba25b8c0#ht_903wt_913 this on ebay. Duel engines? Anyone got one, seen one or know anything about them? I cant find much info but it looks pretty insane. well its ugly but twin engines! SICK. Wish there was a twin T-Maxx.

RC_Ollie Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 it should be good, its hot bodies and it will have insane power, but there are 2 engines to tune etc (double as many things to worry about) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian w Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Yeah got one, bought of ebay rebuilt the diffs, but they will drive you insane trying to get the engine to run together, great fun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian w Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 You want twin Tmaxx There you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Terminator Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I had a near mint GTX2 for good while,it was pretty crazy,if you're not experienced with nitro tuning then i'd steer clear but otherwise they're a great truck.The issues I found were the shock springs are way too soft,I got the harder white springs,added proper 3 shoe clutches to the engines,that needs a 3 shoe flywheel for each engine,the linkage can be a pain if you're not experienced too. Once setup though they're great and the sound you get from 2 .26 nitro engines is awesome,I was gonna slap 2 Nosram RS.28 Evo's in it but never got around to it,I sold mine for £160,would I have another?? Dead right I would if one came along in the same condition mine was.I also added a ram air scoop from the Kyosho Twinforce Gigacrusher and that was pretty cool aswell and worked a treat.... A few pics of mine... Heres a short vid of it in action,I lost a rear dogbone during this run too... The trucks throttle was just over half all the way through this,i'd just fitted new conrods and and wanted to check her out first so limited the travel on the throttle with the EPA...

Ian w Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 That`s a great idea with the ram air. What clutch did you use? HPI ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louder Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) wow pretty insane. New era models do a conversion kit for a twin t-maxx i just found they also do one for a .70 single engine or a .46 single engine which I imagine would fly. I would love to do something manic like that. That said i dont think it would jump well and I don't know of any .70 engines for that matter!

Kpowell911 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Call me skeptical, But surely one very good engine (RB etc) would be alot better/faster/lighter? It certainly has the cool factor however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louder Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Yer I imagen so. I am thinking about doing the single conversion now I've found that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the videos I have of the truck going, are too large to upload as they exceed the permissable requirement of 40 something mb's 😥. Plus I've no clue on how to shrink it to fit. Apologies.

Chris_205 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Hi. Here's a link to YouTube of the truck in motion. The video was caught on my dash cam. I advise to forward past the first half as not much is going on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
