Another 5mph, ran smooth as butter, well done. Do you think it could squeak out another mph or two if you tighten up the ignition timing of the second engine so both engines are thrusting together for a longer duration?




Side note: 7:40AM Memorial Day weekend Saturday morning. Is it too early to start cracking open sodies? :lol:

Nope, its too much thrust and flips truck forward everytime. We have ran it several times off camera, caint handle the par. Going with ball bearings next.
