Really it makes no difference.

Some will try to tell you that wiring to one motor first is better, but if you use high quality wire, there is not enough resistance between them to make any noticable difference at all.

unfortunately for me, I have an traxxas EVX on mine:-( which has outputs for two motors, but a sucky speed control for crawlin'. As stated above, you have to wire them in parallel.
