thanks
um well i havn't exactly got the engines yet. i have enough engines but i understand that they both need to be practically identical? you cant use one older engine and a newer one. so im going to buy the engines myself once ive worked out how im going to go about the throttle.
however the engine i use at the moment is a hpi pro 12 xs which has a slide carb :/ which makes the throttle harder to set up. especially as the break connection is right between the two carbs.
i was thinking of using two rotary carbs with opposite rotations so just have a servo in the centre that pushes one and pulls the other at exactly the same amount. although the problem with that is the servo has to be mounted exactly in the centre ... where the driveshaft is :/
what engines did you use?
