I read the whole ad about the truck. Its not quite as cool as I originally thought. It looks like its
just two engines that share a carburator. Its still very unique though.

yep, 2 .18 engines that use a big single slide carb, one clutch, the cranks are joined together with a belt. its an interesting concept, about the only way to make a 2 cyl engine for r/c use.

Yeah I read a lot about that truck when it came out. Cool concept and the main advantage is the fact that you get the punch of a .36 engine with the revs of a .18.
I'd like to try the engine out in a savage! 

Get some tires that are a little bit bigger and you could run the truck upside down for a little or a very long time if you make it electric.

Besides looking cheesy, I wouldn't want a belt on any off road RC.
