Well I personally find this spacing quite frustrateing. So much so that I use
2 motors on the engines that I have designed so far because I just don't like
the look of the dummy truck mixed with the motor truck. They just don't look
right together.
Part of me wants to say this was some sort of ploy by TLC to get us to dubble
up on motors but I doubt that was it. I don't know if there is something about
the geometries inside the motor (Never opened one up) that restricts the
spacing or possibly they found this spacing best for keeping contact on corners
and points?
I don't know really but it is rather annoying and one of my current pet-peeves
with TLC.
