The EVX runs its motors in parallel on the circuit board. You could remove two of the motor wires. What I did on mine is take 12ga. wire and split the ends to go into both wire holes on the circuit board, since 12ga. is too large in diameter to fit into one 14ga. wire hole. (I hope this makes sense)
Then from the two 12ga. wires, you could have each one go to each motor, then put a wire between the motors to connect them in series.

Do you mean, in principle, connecting both red and both black wires and run the motors in series between the connected wires?

If I would not be such a 'puter noob, I could make a quick drawing :013:

Yeah, I knew the EVX powers the motors in parallel.

Just made a quick (scematic) drawing. Would this work?
Is this what you meant, basically?



Thanks, Metalman.

I drew up a quick picture to show you what I mean. The positioning of the wires shows how they are connected in parallel on the circuit board.

Thank you, metalman.
But which of the 4 output wires should I use?
And what about the other 2?

How about joining them, like in my drawing?
