dual brushless??

So i run a scale scx10 but my co-worker just got a wheely king and it rips, fun for bashing around, i have a clod based crawler that i never use so i was thinking is it possible to run 2 brushless motors on it? i have some stock traxxas ones. im not sure what i would need esc wise, is there one that can run 2 brushless motors or is there a was to use 2 seperate ones??

You can absolutely run two brushless motors on a clod..
To my knowledge there isn't a single esc that can handle two brushless motors.

On my race clod, I run two Tekin GENII brushless motors, with two Tekin RS Pro speed controllers.
A 3500kv brushless motor on a 2s pack would be a decent start point.

One thing to remember, you'll have to run one motor backwards.
If they are sensorless, it's not big deal. Simply switch two of the leads and you'll have a reversed rotation motor..

If the motor is a sensored motor, you'll need a speed controller that you can reverse in the programming.
The speed controller needs to know which direction to anticipate the sensor will move, so you can't just switch the leads.

If you want something that is a lot of fun..
Use the stock clod sliver can motors, pick up a couple BRXL speed controllers from Holmes Hobbies, Series wire 2-2s packs to make 4s power, and hold on for fun..
You'll be VERY surprised how fast the truck will be..

I run two micro mamba and 17 turn trinity motors. that rips pretty good in my clod, enough to be fast and not blow up parts. I run 10,000 MAH 2S pack. Good run time.

so is there a Y harness i need from reciever to esc's or can i just splice wires?

Or go to a 3 or 4 channel radio..
