I "think" I finished up the Sportsman today. There are a couple of shotty things that I did last minute for the last run that I told myself to correct before running it for real, but yea, those are what they are for now. :D

That came out veeeeery nice! :D The only critique I'd make is to get some polished aluminum buggy wheels on the front like a set of Sees. 8)

Another twin motor rig I ran into just looking around. I get the point of the twin motors (although wouldn't fit into most classes these days), but for the love of dog, the motors need to be the same!!! :D

Dual motors but you won't be pulling too much weight with an acrylic chassis and ladder chain. That falls in the category of what were they thinking? :? :)

Never mind multiple nitro engines, there's also R/C puller classes that run single or multiple weed wacker, chainsaw, etc... engines. :shock: :)
