[JimmiZ]

Hell I can't sell it might as well keep it. LOL

Started with the basic Kyosho USA-1 single engine Nitro crusher. Was pretty damn fast for a single engine truck.
1st make room for the second motor. had to flatten chassis,drilled out new holes, tapped. etc.

It will be some time before I can get a video of it, but it will blow your mind how bloody fast this thing is it's insane!

I built this many years ago, I think the manufactures saw this and copy my idea, in a few years twin engine cars started showing up, but why so slow? I guess for safety issues they had to tune it down, but the Giga Crusher has potential? 1st of all both engine sharing such a small opening air scoop and those tune pipes will cut down the power.

That looks totally awesome. Hope you have good luck with it.
