TOR Truggy Build

[drew02a]

I doubt we'll have anything drivable until some time WAY in the future, but lets go ahead and start amassing parts and getting some logistics organized.

Drivetrain
Dual 22-R engines

 

[drew02a]

So the next thing we probably need is some sort of frame to mount up the engines and see if we can get them to run together

 

[AlienXtx]

Your chaining them together, or have each engine running a axel?

 

[Silverback]

One motor per axle sounds like the way to go. Dual t-cases using only one output per. You could run dual front axles as well... f&r steer. Probably have to be full hydro, but since its a trail rig thats not an issue.

Yeah this would be so badass, them you wouldnt have to worry about engine timing etc. just getting the trottles linked up. I bet doing the throttle like they do on boats would work. then you could work them independent of each other for front digs etc.

I know were for Tractor tires and rims are, just saw them in the lot across from my shop. Nice bright yellow rims...

 

[AlienXtx]

I personaly think we should run the punisher rims

Only if they are monster green

oh hell yeah...

 

[drew02a]

I don't think engine timing will be an issue even if they share a drive train. The hard part would be machining some sort of joint tail housing.

 

[Anathollo]

Only if they are monster green

Thats a must.

 

[Silverback]

Well if you are combining the two engines into one transmission I bet that little W56 would hold up. Figure the 22R's you have right now probably aren't the strongest examples. Downey used to offer adapter plates that allowed you to connect a small block to that transmission. IIRC the weak link was 2nd gear... but that was behind a V8.

 

[SecretSquirrel]

Fuck I just got dumber reading this thread...

 

[Silverback]

Come on man.. give in. Let your mind be free.

Its going to have hydraulic suspension similar to ChainLink or RockDog.

I say turbo electric diesel

I agree, you gonna donate the block?

 

[Silverback]

Here's a donor for the motor.
