2 motors 2 esc one battery wiring
two 2848 2650kv 35a motors, two 50a esc, one 2s 30c 4000 mah lipo, do you wire the esc in series or parallel to the battery?

Depends if you want to half the voltage and keep the runtime or keep the voltage the same and half the run time!
Can you battery handle supplying two motors?....

Just remember that when you connect the ESC's throttles together, via a "Y" harness to remove one of the red cables otherwise you will fry your reciever.
I have never had a problem doing this but some say it will not work due to electrical noise and one of the ESCs getting too much voltate. As long as either ESC can handle the whole voltage of the pack and that the pack can supply enough amps for both ESCs at full throttle and that you ground test I do not think you will damage anything and it really should work.
All the best, let "us" know how you get on.
