twin engined mbx4

im thinking of putting 2 engines in my mugen mbx 4 rr. i really hate to say it, but most of the time i use it on road. I think i would just buy a 3mm thick piece of aluminum and make my own chassis. What do u guys think of this idea?

the mbx4 has the perfect layout for it and i would make my own chassis so i could still keep the older single engine layout chassis. I would center the driveshaft on the chassis and have an engine on both sides. i would use like a 22t clutch bell and maybe i would raise the center diff so i could have the engines near the center? what do u guys think about all this

i live in west linn

i would like to use the tc3 chassis but i think it uses too big of a clutch bell but are there any others with the same type layout that use a small clutch bell?

by the way how do u like your picco .26? i just may have to buy a couple of those

I saw a thread on another forum from a guy that did this to his buggy....it looked pretty sweet. He had to make a lot of custom parts for it to work right. I don't remember where I saw it though.
