Yes, it will work just fine. You will need to make a jumper. Connect the ESC to the rear motor as you would normally, and then jumper the neg on the motor to the positive on the front motor. Also connect the positive on the rear motor to the neg on the front motor. This is so your motors spin the correct way (assuming the endbell has not been rotated on one of the motors)

Wire the front motor backwards, or your axle will spin the wrong way.

I split the wires at just 2 inches out of the ESC. Uses a bit less wiring, less wiring = less resistance.

Correct. Instead of splitting at the motor, split it before the motor.
