Default Zagi XT Twin Brushless

I have built a Zagi XT, covered it with profilm. Goes well and looks good.
I am now building another, but this time putting twin brushless motors on for a little extra speed.
Question is, which brushless setup is going to be the best solution?

i used a couple of HET motors and a 80a esc and a 8000mah 3s2p but i think i need a bigger esc. it is really way to fast for me at half throttle its going as fast as the xs with the stock zagi brushless set up. possibly smaller motors would be good i have the 4050 kv 2 wind motors with 4.7,4.7 props. dont know what top speed is but its gotta be over 100

Use 2 Mega 16/15/4's, 2 CC 35amp esc's. Y this to a single battery Pack. You must strengthen the wing or it will fold.

can you use two speed controllers with a y connection? i was worried that the two different controllers will not allow the zagi to fly straight.

Yes. with CC controllers set both to Fixed Throttle and it works fine.

i used a cc 80a controller for both motors and i let the smoke out of it today. It was doing just what the people said it would do one would start and the other would not unless it was about 1/4 throttle then and i noticed that when the props were lined up at start it sounded better but then when stopped they would not stay timed
