Twin Pirate Monster

[RcJunkie13]

Yeah I know it’s irrelevant to this forum, but it’s cool. It’s my Ofna pirate monster with dual engines. Still blinging it out little by little.

Very cool! Rare too

I remember 1998...when nitro was cool


in all seriousness...thats sweet. Hows linkage work for 2nd engine...got a better pic of linkage?

 

[Rep732]

Kinda curious if there's anything special to make the other engine run backwards

 

[RcJunkie13]

Here’s a pic of the link... lmk if you want one without the brace.

No... the engines are in opposite sides of the spur... so they naturally work together

 

[Rep732]

Ah yes. Just thought of it they do run in the same direction

 

[RcJunkie13]

Btw, its not stock it is a custom build.

[Seandonato73]

Last twin engine I saw was a big foot with 2 cox engines on it lol.

 

[RcJunkie13]

lol I gotta throw 2 lrp 32's in there... and ercm pipes... maybe some aluminum rims

 

[Seandonato73]

Thing would do back flips lol

Nice to see something like this still around.
Definitely not irrelevant - anything R/C car, truck, other that's interesting.

Bet it's not the easiest to keep running 'though!!
How's the fuel consumption? !!

Al.

Nice to see those older rc, great reminder of early rc years. When ofna was big with the titan, dominator and gtp.

 

[RcJunkie13]

Fuel consumption sucks... but not that hard to start

 

[RcJunkie13]

Gave the twin a little tlc today and gave it a short rip with what was left in the tank, is easy to start, all you gotta do it put some fuel straight in the carb to get rack engine started, and then it’ll take it from there... that’s coz I have a one tank setup. This was the first real run I gave it, other one was slow in my backyard with no brakes. The acceleration is awesome and the speed is good too (didn’t hit full yet). But the fuel consumption sucks. Run was ok until the one exhaust popped off, lol I forgot to put a zip tie, it was very loud.

ok so I got it to run fine... now it’s gotta look good... any suggestions for a body, wheels/tires and anything else?

 

[Rep732]

Best to take the truck to a hobby shop and start laying bodies on it till you find one that fits it. Had to do that with my hpi super nitro as it was an oddball size and bodies were not easy to find

Old skool cool, i love it

Once i get a benchtop lathe i want to attempt to custom fab an opposed twin cyl nitro engine.

Like one engine with two cylinders? cool!
I kinda kike having the independent ones so I can run them individually

 

[RcJunkie13]

Took it out for a run on the street today, the thing is a pain to start, but once it does the power is incomparable, the pipe popped off and left my ear feeling weird . The tires need to go, horrible grip, terrible balance and heavy. Suggestions?

 

[blackrain]

Been so long can’t even remember what tires are out there, sure anything made for the savage, Tmaxx and revo would be good
