Brushed motor wiring questions - 10.21.2008, 02:00 AM

Ok, so I have an "interesting project" and for cost reasons would like to run a pair of brushed motors. Looking at a pair of the kershaw designs 700HO motors and was wondering how to wire them up.

I plan to use a MM and a pair of 2s lipos, wired in series for 4s. Would i wire the motors in series, or parallel?

From what I can gather I want to run them in parallel to get the full 14.8v to each of them. If I run them in series they will only "see" half of the voltage on each motor? This is how I understand it, but please correct me if I am wrong. This truck will not be geared very high, and will have a 2 speed tranny as well. It should weight about 12-14lbs, and have alot of traction! I also would like brushed for the very smooth low speed response, which sensorless just can't seem to match.
