Default scx10 dual motor mount and esc?

Been doing a lot of searching but I can't find the answer to my question. I am currently running Tekin fxr and a 45t motor with stock gears and a 3s lipo with 2.2's. It seems I have lost a lot of my power and torque I used to have. I have switched out my motors several times for different reasons but nothing changed when I did. I was wondering if I went with a dual motor mount If that would help the low end power and still keep the same speed. Also my biggest question is can I run the dual motors wired into on fxr esc?

Before you go buying all that stuff, try a smaller motor pinion or a larger spur gear.

I've already tried those and all it seems to do is slow it down without any noticable increase in torque.

Might try a new battery or a new motor (or one that has been freshly rebuilt). Even if they are borrowed from a buddy, just to test.

Try recalibrating your ESC/Radio?

I know it's not the motor, I have had 3 or 4 different ones on it testing and they all act the same. I just ordered a new battery I guess I will see if that helps.

Does anyone know, if I was to run the dual motors, if I can run them on 1 Tekin fxr, and if there is a certain way to wire them up.

Just y the motor wires off the Fxr to the motors. But seriously one good motor is all you need.
