I'm not saying that having two motors won't be powerful. I'm just saying that there are better ways of going fast. If you put two 8XL motors in an emaxx, I'll bet it'll pull shopping carts around all day long. No question that the brute power will be there. I thought we were talking about going fast.

What is the idea behind running the escs and batteries in parallel. Isn't that the same as running two independent systems, but with more wiring?
Bernie at Castle tells me that this assures that power draw and power consumption is "leveled" evenly between the two systems...essentially making the dual MM one system, and making the dual 3S packs one power source. Makes sense to me.

BTW...there are speed gains to be had...atleast in theory. Just plug in a 5700kv motor into the speed calc application....the simulation is impressive. I am going to find out if the simulation holds up to real world performance.
