I'll be honest and say that I've never built a dual brushless setup, but on the other hand, actually doing it doesn't make it a good idea either.

I was sincerely looking for folks that have built dual BL setups and the approach they used...I was not trying to question anybody's expertise.
In my case, both ESCs are wired in parallel (i.e., battery plug and receiver plug-wired parallel). I also got a deans parallel battery plug adapter so that the batteries are also parallel to get more current to the ESCs. It is the same setup that castle used to run the barbie jeep...which carried a full grown adult.
It might take awhile to complete my experiment, but I plan to document vehicle weight, speed, run times, temps, etc. Eventually I'll switch out the Mamba BL for the Quark/Neu combo and replicate my documentation.
