Default Running 2 ESCs in parallel running 2 motors

Hi guys, Im part way through a project to modify a TT01 to run 2 motors, but on a budget and only using stuff I've got in the shed.

My issue is that the 2 motors will be feeding the same spur gear, so must always be turning the same way and at the same speed.

I've got a few options of connecting them and need to know which would be best.

1 - 1 ESC running each motor then connected to RX with Y cable.

2 - Both ESCs connected to both Motors, ie everything in parallel, with the 2 escs then connected to the Rx with a Y cable.


Which one would be best? I'll be using 2 identical ESCs (standard Tamiya ones) and standard silver can 540 motors. I just wanted everything to run as smoothly as possible with out blowing anything up.

Regards
