Dual motor?!?!

[xatu]

Ok, I have an extra motor to use, and I want to make a dual motor car. I need some help though! I need to know how to attatch the second motor, how power will get to the motor, ANYTHING you know will help me!

well u can put the sencond motor on to of the drift axel...i think it would help even out the pressure on the engine

dude man, dont waste your time........ the Dual Motor Mod will only be for looks......... i have already done this Mod myself and wasn't very pleased.......... but i'll tell you how to do it just so you can see for yourself.......

at the end of the motor(opp. of gear) there is your fire(+) connection, it touches to the (+) hot plate(you'll see it, small metal plate opp. the gears inside the motor well)

you need to get a small piece of metal and basically extend the hot plate higher up to where your 2nd motor will be laying on top of the heat sink and will be touching the extension( i broke a piece of razor blade off and used it) you know have your hot plate(razor blade extension) and your ground(heat sink)

now, simply use some wire( i used trashbag ties w/out the plastic coating) and tighten down your 2nd motor. make sure the 2nd motor is in exact placement or your car will not move. the gearing will be crooked cauzing it to lock up.......... VIOLA! Double Engined Car!

if you still dont understand........... maybe i'll draw a picture or something.............. l8r

So......you left the heatsink in, and had a motor on top of it? If I left the heatsink in on mine, the gear on the 2nd motor wouldn't reach the idler gear. When I tried this, before I made this thread, I just had a wire reaching from the back of the main motor, to the back of the second motor. I then had a piece of wire that reached from the wire that comes underneath the chassis connecting to the motor, and that connnected to the 2nd motor. It did not work very well sometimes, and the gear would grind on the chassis. That's why I posted this thread, to get some better ideas.

P.S. I would love to see some pictures, I don't really get what you mean....

There is one dual motor bit I know of, on a japanese website. You can try translating it with babelfish, or just using the site for the pictures. I hope this helps:

I am also trying a dual motor, but I want to make a digi-q type with two motors at different speeds, and I'm not sure this is possible with the BCG PCB. Anyways, good luck.

thanks for mentioning the Heat Sink issue......... i didnt leave the heat sink on, i took it off because the gears wouldnt reach...... thanks for correcting me........ if you didnt notice, i made that post at like 3am last night, i wasnt all hear(mildly drunk hehe)........ but yea, NO HEAT SINK........ but really, it looks cool, but thats about it, it didnt help me with anything(speed, torque, etc) if anything, it made my car slower....... but anyways, sorry for the mistake....... but i can admit when im wrong ....... l8r

rpm3j- Thanx for the link!
tory_103- Ok, I understand (you like to use .... alot, don't you )

To everyone!:

If you have tried this, please tell me if there was a change in torque, speed...etc.

I did this about 4 months ago to my zip and it improved my torque x2. I really enjoyed doing the mod too. It was easier with the zip cos' the heatsink has a screw instead of just snapping into place. No doubt it'll increase your Torque, just make sure the motors are the same speed.

The motors are the same speed, for sure. They are the same kind and everything! I just have to decide which car to do it to.... My clone from Wal-Mart, or my Shen Qi Wei that I just fixed.. .... Hmmm... I think I will do it to my clone car from Wal-mart! I will do it in a week or two, because my cousins from hell are here, and they get into everything.... And I have to watche them!
