Ya to bad theres not spell check on the site, a lot of us could use It I ment pigtailing!! But I came off the 2 motors with 4 pigtails and directly attatched them to the leads from the esc Instead going from motor to motor. In your case, since your not using both motors and dont need to wire the rear in reverse, just go 2 + pigtails to yellow and 2 - pigtails to blue. hope that made sence

IT could be the 2 motors are worn differently or you wired the 2 motors in series and that will be the cause
