Why does my rooster crawler only put power to the least traction wheels? I have 2 55t motors i want equal power to both axles! Is this a wiring issue?

This is classic Clod-stall.

Electricity flows just like water and will go where it can go the easiest. The best way to get water to flow through all parts of a piping system is to up the pressure, in this case up the voltage.

The Rooster is only rated for 2S, but there are people that run it at 3S. If your Rooster does not like that it will thermal shutdown on you.

You can also try putting a bigger pinion on the front axle, this increases the load and forces power to the rear wheels.

You can reduce the size of the wires to your front axle, this also forces the trons the back axle.
