BEC idea
Has this ever been done. Thinking of putting blade engine in the back onto a chain diff and one in front onto prop on to front diff, as long as i can
get ratios right i cant see why i cannot do it.

You'll need a diff in the middle too. Or she'll chew herself up as front and back wheels travel different distances while cornering..
I drive a maverick on road no diff just transfer box in 4wd mode on the road she just wants to push the nose and you can feel and hear the tyres
fighting against each other!

If there is no mechanical link between the engines there wont be any immediate problems.
Johnston is right, if you want to connect the engines, without a diff you will have major cornering issues, unless you use free wheel hubs.

The Tiger Z100WR had 2 bike engines running diffs front and rear with no physical connection so it can be done. That car used about £5k worth of Motec
electronics along with G-sensors to detect what the car was doing and then used this to cut power (by as much as half) to the front engine so it
wouldnt understeer all over the track, and to limit wheel spin on the front wheels due to weight transfer under acceleration.
Seems an overly complex idea really to fit 2 engines to a car used on the road. Why 2 fireblades rather than one of the bigger power single engines
(ZZR1400, ZX12R, Busa, ZX10R etc)??? Power / weight would surely be similar at about 400bhp/ton??
