The guys over at RC Alloys are building up this one, I can't wait to see it up and running. Check Bill out at RC Alloys (http://www.rcalloys.com) He's still making the parts for it, but it should be done in a few weeks.

Gee, I mention that I haven't seen a 2 cylinder 4 stroke in a vehicle and now you come through with some awesome pics ProjectTwin, thanks! Be sure to keep us informed with this thing!

[BIG-J]

Good God that thing looks menacing! LOL What are they using for a transmission? Custom made I'm assuming?

Here's a shot of the project Swabbie was working on. Too many peeps jumping into this pool. Guess we'll have to come up with something a little different. Hmmm.....

Hey Twin remember that project I told you I was working on way back... I guess you read my mind. ^^^ LOL!

[ProjectTwin]

Dudes!

That's too crazy! What are the chances?!

That's Bill's project, he's doing all the machining and design.

Greg, there's always a Conley V-8 or V-10 conversion..lol

Turbine maybe?

Good grief!

Bill is like, "Check this out, new engine for da T." *shows me pic from OS or Tower...

Then he gives me this sadistic grin...

Would be interesting to see how these two progress, same basic install, two different means of tackling it. :)

Sorry Twin. My 4Twin Maxx project is canceled. I've already got a buyer for the Siato engine.

Back to the drawing board.

[SteveP]

Twin sold us out!!! :eek: Last time you get the scoop dude..... :D

[R_C_MAN]

Wow!

[ProjectTwin]

I had no scoop!

I never knew!

Sheesh...

ARR ARR ARR MORE POWER! That's too cool. Finally the maxx will have the power it deserves. There's a guy over on rcmt that just put a thumper in his Monster Pirate. He's gonna try and get some vids up soon. It should be pretty sweet.

[bullfrog]

SCREW THAT!!!! MAKE A REAL CAR INTO A RC!!!!! a few 1/4 th scale servos and BAM! the ultimate RC!

[illbreakit]

Allready been planing that, Bullfrog :eek: :D ;) :cool:

[CrazyHorse]

What kind of air filter is on that twin?

[The Real Maxxter]

Just when I was thingking about mounting an old VW engine on my Maxx....

[very low budget racer]

What about the compagnucci .40 gasoline/oil engine, why hasent someone put one of those into a project? It's something i'd like to do, instead of pricey nitro you use cheap gas and it will run for 45 min, anyone know the price for one of these?

[ProjectTwin]

Crazy, I think it's a K&N, kinda looks like it. Knowing Bill, it is.. :D

I was wondering that myself VLBR. I'd like to shoe horn one of those into my Monster Pirate maybe.
