Best way 2 run twin motors?
Hey folks. Have a question. I have a monster of a newbrite scx. Nearly 15" wheelbase. Here's what'sup- I have an fxr w/45 14tpinion in it now. I want to add another 45,via twin motor plate. I was under the impression i'd have to add either, another fxr, or pull the fxr in it, in favor of a different esc that's designed to run dual motors. Then,i was told that my fxr will indeed run dual motors. I don't wanna buy stuff i don't need. So, which way do i go? Will an fxr run 2 motors? & how do i go about it? Thanks!!!!!

A FXR will run 2 motors...plenty of MOA guys do it. You'll need some sort of Y wiring harness to connect both motors to the wires coming off the ESC. Like this one:

I agree with these guys...what are you hoping to accomplish with 2 motors? Obviously, in your post in the other thread pertaining to someone running 2 motors, you understand that 2 motors isn't going to increase your speed at all, not to mention a second motor just adds weight to the middle of the chassis, not down low...so it's not a good thing from a low center of gravity standpoint either. I'm curious.
