Default Rear wheels quit pulling sometimes

I seem to have an issue in that from time to time, the rear will just quit pulling. It acts like the front is drawing all the power so the rear just sits there. Appears to happen mostly when the rear starts to get a bite and climb, then just quits. I'm running a Novak Super Duty and I have the leads setup as a 'Y' to the motors. Any ideas on what would cause it? Should I have wired it differently?

Do a search on clod stall, you'll find all kinds of info on your issue.

Rewire your motors, you have them wired in series which causes clod stall really bad. If you wire them in parallel the stall will still be there but not as much.

Thanks. I searched but didn't know what it was called so never searched for the correct term. Found it now.

A Y like he's talking about is still parallel... I run a Y style on mine with very little Clod Stall... MM and 2x35t Integy's... Will only stall out when REALLY loaded up at low throttle settings...

Series would be going from ESC + to Motor A +, from motor A - to Motor B +, then Motor B - to ESC -...
