Over-kill?

[gordon]

When one motor driving the rear axle just isn't enough:

I think that the front axle should have at least one motor as well !

I wonder if the car was any faster??? There are several things that leave me wondering...available power/amps? May be it will use all that is available as with a 16D vs S Can??? .... if both motors aren’t perfectly balanced, rpm etc then will there be a “pull” to one side or the other?? Just a thought

[obrie]

Ok correction. Both motors are on the same gear!!! Then the balance of the motors may create a drag on the faster one trying to spin the slower to match its rpm???? I agree with Steve i would like to see it in the front but will the faster motor and axle assembly (tire diameter etc) drag the slower????? Not sure how well this works

O'Brie, I wasn't thinking of moving one of the motors to the front, I was thinking of putting another motor there and leaving two on the rear axle (ie. a three-motor chassis). The heading, after all, is 'over-kill' !!

By the time the body is put on, the weight might have to be measured in kilogrammes, not grammes !
