    Those multiple engine jobs are always interesting to watch though, aren't they?

    I have to say - if you want several engines - I reckon electric is the way to go.
    Consider:
    Symmetrical rpm
    Symmetrical thrust
    No tuning issues.
    No double/triple vibration causing airbubbles in fuel lines.

    he couldnt get any speed out of it it was just spinning the wheels any time he revved it


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 3,455 Mod ✭✭✭✭coolwings


    I imagine he had amazing torque available.
    It needs extra lead weights added, and maybe double wheels on each axle!

    He made points that I disagreed with, In fact they were the only points I really took notice of.

    And no, I do not know Plug.

    It's a bit academic.
    A T-Maxx vs. a moped....
    An Apache helicopter vs. a Shelby Mustang....
    How about a Harrier Jump Jet against a pushbike !

    It's why we have class rules for similar models / cars to race against each other.
