Default Dual motor question

I had to reverse the wiring on the rear motor on my clod to get both axles spinning in the same direction but the rear wheels are much slower how do i fix this.

Best guess (assuming both motors are on a single ESC and the motors are "identical") is that the rear motor is timed...but now in the wrong way since it's rotation is reversed.

I'd set them both to 0 then take your rear motor and set it at 180. Then plug it in without the rear motor wires being backwards.

I sorted it out. I found out you have to turn the endbell in the opposite direction from the rotating direction.

Another question without making another thread , Is there anyway to control clodstall ? I think i like it when crawling. helps me get over ledges better but i'd like to be able to dial it in better. There are times when i feel like a little more wheelspin up front without having the rear wheels turning would help me.

Some tweak timing...
Others run a different pinion front vs. rear...
Best is to run dual ESC's & a radio that does dual ESC mixing.

I've done all, dual ESC's + mixing is the best. All can work to some degree.
