Default 2 better than 1?

I'm running a MOA crawler and i'm looking to change out the stock motors and ESC set up. At the moment it has one speed controler with four wires on coming out of it.

I'm wondering if running 2 speed controllers powering a motor each, both plugged into channel 2 via a Y lead would result in less clod stall, or more, or make no difference?

Has anyone had any experience of trying one set up then the other on the same rig?

Cheers

It won't make a difference at all. Fact.

Cheers.

JasonInAugusta did a nice write up about all that stuff, and I've tried some things myself. With one ESC you should run a lower tooth pinion in the rear gear case to ask that motor to start sooner than the front, and that's about it. Otherwise, don't expect anything more.

Two speed controllers and a four channel radio are where these nerds are now.
