Dude that's one of the Holy Grails of nitro history! That the Giga crusher and the Ofna Twin Titan are like the trinity of twin Nitro's. Wow what an awesome find! I usually pop the head and remove the carb and drop some nitro fuel in and clean those old motors to look almost new before lighting the candle on them but whatever works.
Sweet bud look orsome
Omg what a nice truck. I think the neighbour loved the sound ;)
Haha I think he did too 😂
I'll be honest. But I think the twin rc vehicles are making a comeback. 😂 Working on a twin savage.
They take me back to the early 2000’s
They are f*ckin cool, but I wish you boys the best of luck when the time comes to tune them 🤞😆
Oh yeah the twinn zilla
Only the gas tank is worth a fortune
Tuning one alone is annoying enough. Probably why it has such low run time😂
Introduced by Hot Bodies circa 2005, the 4WD Lightning GTX2 Truck - # HB 55008 - came RTR with 2 x 26 engines and radio system.
The model is shaft driven, on an alloy plate chassis, with gear type differentials, 8 x coil spring over oil filled dampers, rear anti roll bars, dogbone drive-shafts and a full set of ball bearings
I watched this channel years ago. I've been unwell in hospital for a long time trying to get well so I can get back to my RC cars. I've started a new channel recently and hope to get some videos started when I get out of hospital. Like watching your vids they encourage me to get well and make my own. Thanks mate. From Australia
Thanks man, hope you get well again soon!
That HotBodies Lighting GTX2 is going to be a blast. I used to have one. Man, I miss the late '90s and early 2000s nitro boom with twin engine everything. I have a twin 4-stroke Saito FG-11 engine in my Nitro Kyosho USA1. It's a beast as well.
That is a big engine, I imagine the torque is fantastic. What gearing did you use
Would you take$4000 for it?
Hmm... some reason I cant post comments, on my other account anyway.
There has been plenty of them twin nitro engine trucks on ebay over the decades. Lots of them were home made from HPI Savages. The originals are these monsters:
Koysho Giga Crusher Dual Force, OFNA Twin Titan or Twin Zilla some called it. What you have there is indeed a very, very Rare!! Monster! Original body & no mods congratulations!
It's exactly what it says on the shell: Hot Bodies Lightning GTX2 Hot bodies are now known as HB Racing & owned by HPI the dual engines should be .26 center gear is 50T I think.
They sold with a roto start & a HPI style transmitter. With your knowledge of nitro you shouldn't have any issues with getting the engines to synchronize. Welcome to rare owners club.
I’ve had people saying comments are being removed too… I can’t find any evidence but perhaps there’s a problem with the comments at the moment, Hopfully they mend it soon.
I think the algorithm is at fault, it's not like I was swearing or posting dirty links etc.. I only post truthful, helpful, correct things. I know TH-cam's filtering and moderating system can choose to hold some comments. But as you said you can't find anything and I trust you on that. BTW IF you do ever decide to sell that monster on somewhere like ebay, I'd bid high! as will a lot of other collectors, You have a very rare! nitro model right there. If you keep it then, welcome to the world of rare RC collectors club, yours is in great condition, really pleased for you.
Can't wait to see it out running 😊
That makes two of us!
That should be a keeper that one, i wouldn't sell it.👍🏻👍🏻
It’ll be a bloody hard one to sell trust me… I’m thinking of hiding it and forgetting I have it 😂
ive got one of these twin engined beast's exactly the same one they really go well very fast seriously you will be shocked how fast these are.BUT they drink nitro fuel
Interesting. Id love to see it run!
go for it
If I remeber there was a conversion kit for the Savage to make it a twin engine monster. I think it was called Truckzilla ?
wouw man thats a great find look like it not used much cant wait to see it running
WOW! What an awesome find👍
Too cool!! God Bless Ya man from Oklahoma USA
Oklahoma! Awesome!
That's sweet if I could find a chassie to do 2 motors in my savage I would
I don’t think savages are any good with two engines, they’re prefect with one.
Great video cant wait to see it go
Wow haggard you got yourself one awesome truck there. That in fact is a lightning gtx2 rtr monster truck that believe it or not retailed for 640usd. Can't wait to see it in action shes definitely a keeper. Man keep up the good work and God bless you and your family 🙏 out brother.
Definitely a HotBodies Lighting GTX2
Thank you, I may indeed keep this one even though I bought it to sell. It’s so awesome 😂
I’ve got a 2.4ghz transmitter and receiver mate it’s your if you want it
Thanks but I have it sorted 😎
That is badass!! Nice find!
I just had my roto start open with a multi meter try to fix it & thinkbits that safety button, have to find that video now
Harggard RC like new video 💯👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🔧
they pop up on ebay time to time they sell running for 700-1ooo$ dollar range yup most people mod to charge on the out side its easier then taking apart every time to charge a hot bodys twin titan.
That’s pretty sick
Legendary RC truck 💪😎
Use a lighter to sing the fiber strings on your gloves, also light around where you cut them, it will prevent strings from coming out.
Not a nitro guy, but i want one of those.
what a find bro ❤awesome
Very cool 👍 I would love to own one ⛽️👍 regards from 🇨🇭😁
Thanks for watching 😎
I had one of those a few years back paid £150 for it off ebay 👍
French here. 🇫🇷Few years... Uh lot of years, I've sell some of them aka GigaCrusher, side to tamiya Terra crusher and kyosho mad force, this was a beast with awesome sound and power! And very reliable
Distributed by kyosho and only been over passed by the Tamiya TnX 5.2, an awesome Monster truck, the best in all nitros
Mate I love how you keep your nitro just next to the fire just nice and warm😂😂
Lol stops it going off 😂🤣
Lol stops it going off 😂🤣
Good on ya that thing is bad!!
Nice find 👌 I've seen these years ago, I've seen the T Maxx dual nitro like this also, They were crazy fast especially 25yrs ago...We raced the single motor trucks just like this one and the T Maxx, It was so much fun racing 10 of these at a time, They were biggest trucks I had ever seen, Can't wait to see it ripping ✌️
I haven't seen one of those in a very long time ..score of a life time my friend
Nice find awesome video man
The head design reminds of Force. Or maybe early OFNA? Looks really good man!
That thing is frickin sweet!!
awesome
😆
Beside the binding... That thing is bloody clean ma dude... Oh and the jelly.. buuuut we can over look that one with a good flush :).. 9 times out of 10 a pull down and clean with a soft bristle will have them crank first glow almost always :) re did 3 last year in 2 hrs for a mate of mine.. just so he could prove his dad wrong haha.. I reckon his dad just did what motivated him but what ever I got to play with some history and he got working cars and I got a buddy to drive with and his dad was able to enjoy the cars too haha 😁🤟
Hag DO NOT sell that beast , you got to keep that for yourself or you will regret selling in the future
I regret selling most things lol
@@HaggardRClol
Nice video. It is a rare one. But there are deals on them here in the US. Therapy. 👍always before play😊
Dude that thing is over 5hp of insanity. I think it came out in 2003. I remember wanting one. They showed it with the throttle pinned and it has power out the yang. It was the first nitro i saw that made all four wheels looking like pizza's. You are super lucky because its clean as a whistle. It shouldnt take much to get that thing ripping again. You gotta give me a ball paek of what you paid for it. I bet you got it for a song too as obviously he hasnt used it much if at all. Cheers from Canada!
2005 I believe they were released. I took it out today, very fun 😎😂
I had one of these and loved it bought it new really regret selling mine but needed space as with rthe fact and was heavily into gas and have 6running and 3 in bits mine was perfect when I sold it, it could be a pig to start and get it running right everytime I went out with it hour to get it started and at least another hour getting it to run right, I put a 2-4 in my one as range was rubbish, had to swap the servos to digital as they were so slow.
My one seems to have really quick servos and they're hot bodies ones.
I like your channel bro
Thank you 😁
Thats sure cool find i wood trade a car or 2 for that more for a collection iam have some old monsters like losi lst xxl2 with the optional upgrade kit old emaxx in long and short wheel base gas and some other monsters but this was always on my list to get and o happens to come across your video depending what u plan for it and iam not close sounds like but id be very interested in it if anything if reasonable on possible sell. Some suggestion id give those motors good cleaning inside and out sure theres old fluid that hase those bearings clogged and sure hate to see it messed up I used to fill with wd40 through carb and let sit few days .
like to see top speed of this one !
Love it want it!
Now this makes me want to replace the seized engine ony Kyosho Burns and get that running again. Hasn't run in almost 25 years!
Doo it!!
Had a lightning gtx2 as a kid, and it was a power house. It was pretty tricky to get both engines tuned just right so they weren't fighting each other, tho. Just sold mine last year that sat around in my garage for 15 years. It was always next to impossible to get certain parts for it. Always had to get lucky or find parts in other kits.
there force engines
Boom!! Crazy Dad Nitro Sent me. I subbed . con-grates🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Dave!
Twin engines were fun speaking of big engine monster trucks.. how about the thunger tiger EK 4 with the 70 cc heicoptor motor.
The pistons can stick at TDC after running , they stick at the pinch point , then cool down and stick when you run a nitro after you have done the engine flush out they need to be left with the pistons down the cylinder , I've just rescued a 4tec 3.3 that had been stuck for ten years and left under a bed , used once and put away , it's like new what a fined for me lol , good luck with that truck it looks good mate 🇬🇧
My rc buddy has a vintage OFNA Twin Titan dual engine 2 speed monster truck and I have a couple videos of it on my channel!
Nice I'll have a look when I get a minute 🤟
Sick
👍
Orsome truck bud try run mine last night bud wasn't wanting run heat them up little heat gun used bit ez starter spray
22:22 gee i wonder why it wont start. yea give it more throttle, im sure that will help
When they're flooded wide open throttle will clear it because its sucking it maximum air. Just like with petrol engines 🤟😀
😎👍
Hot bodies is a HPI company.
How much do you want for it?
At the moment I’m not sure, I’ll clean it up, get it driving and then decide.
Two nitro engines means you gotta work twice as hard maintaining. Not for me. Although, I never seen two different engines on a nitro car. Example, a nova and a Lrp 32? Fastrax .21 and Hobao .30? Mismatch That be a fun experiments.
That would be fun, I disagree with working twice as hard though. They’re both next to each other… lol not like you have to do much more 😜
Lol wd40 helps save the Little rod bearing when they sieze
You put those glowplugs in way too tight
I got 4 giga crushers and just picked up a used hotbodies twin. The HB is well built except for the flimsy ass suspension. Almost laughable. Everything else about is is super heavy and well built
You're right there!
is this twin 38 size ?
Nope, .26 😁
Hi there currently I’m struggling to get my nitro car running, it runs where I put fuel in the carburettor and it dies out within 5 seconds I try to keep the revs up but it still dies out I have cleaned the carburettor and it still does this any help would be much appreciated thank you
Change the fuel lines, and check the tank pick up clunk for cleaness, blockage
Blow the lines out and the tank 🤟😀
@@russcole5685will do thank you for your help
@@HaggardRCwill do thank you 😊
Not one but 2 nitro engines to tune i cant even tune one or even get it to stay idling
It's not as bad as it seems 😎
Well I seen one but my buddy wouldn't sell it to me
I don’t blame him 🤣
Love nitro but my glow ignitor is bad car just sits their
Mend it or buy a new glow starter then
