In response to the 2 12 volt batteries in the engine that you said are wired in series, then that would make 24 volts which obviously would fry the q. I think you meant to say that you had 2 12 volt batteries wired paralell, which would keep you at 12 volts but add the much needed amperage to take c...

that thing is INSANE!!! great job would be an understatement. i have been thinking about doing the exact opposite, which would be to build the largest, loudest t-bolt possible. i have a 6-71 roots style blower from one of my hot rods and i thought about what kind of displacement that thing would put...

I did a helluva growl w/my tbolt on halloween eve around 7 or so, and haven't sounded it since. I'm sure at least a follow up at midnite should fit right in. I think I'll start by winding the chopper to full speed then throw the blower on, then kill the chopper while leaving the blower on for the fu...

If they were operating it manually from the stack of toggle switches in the rcm cab then you can easily control what kind of output you get, for example I will start with just the chopper only, then after it hits peak pitch then I'll hit the blower and that will throw a huge roar out only at peak pi...
