wow, nice score! New Era makes a dual engine mount and possibly UE? But... I've never seen one where the motors were set at opposing angles like that.

You had a chance to see if anything on it works... servos, engies, diffs, tranny... cuz someone who built that knew kinda what they were doing... gonna bee a roll over machine with that much weight that high up. Good luck .. keep us posted... id be suprised if those engines fire up at all.. very suprised.

You could probably clean the parts up and sell them on ebay. I'm sure there more than a few owners of the older maxx's that still need parts.
