Is it possible to put two motors on my 1/16 ken block

[Sito]

Im looking to put two motors on my ken block but I can't find any motor mounts. And If you guy know
Where I can find one if there is .




Thanks

[Jimmie Neutron]

There isn't one.
Why do you want to do this?

[Sito]

I whant make it twice as fast do you have any advice to make my ken block faster

[Jimmie Neutron]

Two motors will give you more torque, but not much more top end.... as a matter of fact, you could actually be going slower due to all the added weight.

What do you currently have for a...
motor?
ESC
spur gear?
pinion gear?
tires?
rims?
battery?

Once these are answered, we can point you in the direction of speed.

EDIT:
Also, how fast do you want to go?

My kb is all stock I whant to be able to pop wheelies

[Jimmie Neutron]

Did the KB come brushed or brushless?
Does it have slicks for tires?
Gearing is different on some 16ths... can you find out what you have?

dont know what the purpose of wheelies on a kb. but its your rc so go with what you like. lipos or maybe throw in a castle combo.

55t spur gear
28t pion gear
Grip tires
Brushless
2s lipo

I am going to compare your KB to my Boss...

2200 2S LiPo's in parallel
HPI 31mm vintage tires/rims
28/45 gearing
********* ESC
stock V 4000Kv motor
aftermarket, stiffer shocks

in PERFECT conditions I can get it to wheelie.
Now, the exact same everything but dirt hawgs for tires in my MERV; I can get it to wheelie no problem.

There are a few different ways to go about this...
fortunately, they are in stages so you can start at the top and continue down until you get what you want.

1) 3S batteries...
but you will probably fry the stock ESC, so

2) A different ESC.
I suggest something that can handle 3S all day long... 60 amps or better.

3) Neu motor... a bit pricey, but worth it all day long.

Thanks a lot it's really helpful

[Jimmie Neutron]

Hope you have fun upgrading!!
Let us know how it turns out...

[Sito]

Do you recommend the 1/16 slash shocks

[Jimmie Neutron]

I think they are the same as what you currently have... maybe different springs/weights, but basically the same.

HR makes shock bodies that are aluminum and cheap... and take all stock hardware.
or...

I will get another member chiming in here... they have some great information too.

Cool thanks ����������

Thanks Jimmie!
What kind of budget are we talking?
Like Jimmie said definitely a better esc and when it comes down to it it's power to weight is what your are looking for!
With 2 motors you would need double everything and with the size of our cars we are limited to small batteries you would need 3 or more. It would end up weighing ten pounds!
In my merv I have a mmp esc and a neu 1110 1/y .the neu is expensive but is fast and runs cool a good combination!
You could run a lower kv neu and run it on 4 cell batteries for some real fun!

I have one more question what's the name of the plate so I can convert my 1/16 motor to 1/10

[Jimmie Neutron]

$8 Motor Plate (7380)
$4 Gear Cover/Hardware (7379)
$10 Motor Mount (7360)
$10 Rx Cover (7024x)

This is a picture of the difference in Rx covers:

New style (for big block) is on top.

FYI: Big block is going to give you a higher COG... which translates to "harder to handle".

the other good part of a neu it's a 380 can!
