Hey guys...thanks for the kind words. I know a lot of the guys on this forum have a ton of experience and have recommended against going the dual route. I just had to see it for myself. I must admit that I was a little discouraged after I purchased the Quark 125B and was getting ready to buy the Neu 1515 2.5 motor. I ran the calculations and was shocked to see that my truck was going to top out at around 30mph. This was partially due to the fact that I purchased truggy diffs and pinions...but still...30mph?!? changing out to buggy diffs would have gotten me an extra 5 or so mph. So...I had one mamba laying around and got a killer deal on the other. If I am not happy with the results, my longer term plan will be to install the UE diffs and Neu motor.

I have heard that johnny maxxima has had good results with his dual brushless rig.

Well, it runs fine on my Nimh batteries....but it craves more voltage/current. I am getting ready to order Li-po batteries...but along with that comes a new charger, balancer, $$$. It will run off of two 3S or 4S batteries (parallel), which will feed the two Mamba Max ESCs (also wired parallel). It is the same setup scheme that Castle used for their barbie jeep and escalade on their website.
