Default Clod Help

I got a couple questions. Any help would be appreciated!

I've researched a while back and came up with nothing for running a brushless dual motor setup. Like the traxxas system. I didn't know how it would be wired up if at all possible. Anyone running something like this?

Also, i got more "gear whine" in one axle then the other. Anyone got a cure? I've tried switching the motors and no change. All brand new gears. I've even added automotive grease for "lubrication".

Thanks in advance y'all. Just havent had any luck on these subjects.

dual brushless will require two esc just hook them up like you would for a single motor if they dont run in the same direction switch wires on one to make them the same as for hooking batteries up just make or buy a "y" connector

Holy cow! That could get expensive! I've found some 7k/10k silicone diff oil, will this help any for the gear whine/traction?

On the clod diffs don't put diff oil in them cause they aren't really sealed like most diffs are. They were originally intended to be ran dry. The whine that you hear is from it being geared low, you could put some white lithium grease on the gears and it would help some but thats about it. As far as traction, you need to put some lockers in it if you plan to crawl or at least a good ball diff in it for normal use.
