Default 2 ESCs, 1 receiver

I'm working on a radioshack extreme machine and I want to run dual motors to keep the 4x4 ability. It has 2 motor mounts. I'm thinking of taking 2 traxxas xl5s- each powering a Titan 12t. Could i make a parallel/series connector for the escs to the receiver. I'm only using a 2ch RX. Please help!

You may be able to get away with some sort of a Y splitter.

Would I be able to have a series connector and a parallel connector? Similar to the clod's power and economy switch.

im not familiar with the clods. i will use the e revo as an example since i am much more familiar with that platform and Y splitters with that platform. yes, the Y splitter allows 2 servos, esc, ect to be run off a single channel. both will get the same signal and voltage.

i would say most of the people who run dual VXL3s systems in their e revos run a series Y splitter just like what would be , i use, for dual steering servos on that truck.

you may have to kill the BEC on one of the ESCs as not to try and pump too much voltage back to the receiver and servo.

Yes thanks. But could I use parallel and series y conectors? Series for more power. Parallel for run time. Like on the E-Revo dual battery connectors.
