This method of wiring gives you higher torque and longer run times.
WIRING FOR REVERSIBLE SPEED CONTROLS
WIRING FOR FORWARD-ONLY SPEED CONTROLS
SERIES DUAL-MOTOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Special motors are available that are designed to be run together. These motors will give optimum performance and will also minimize the wear on your drive train.
Motors in series put the same load on the speed control as the total number of turns in both motors. For this set-up you can use motors with as few as 8 turns and the speed control will think its driving a 16 turn motor. You will get the speed and run times of a 16 turn motor with twice as much torque that is needed for heavier models.
WIRING DUAL-MOTORS IN PARALLEL
This method of wiring gives you faster speeds but shorter run times.

WIRING FOR FORWARD-ONLY SPEED CONTROLS
PARALLEL DUAL-MOTOR RECOMMENDATIONS
As with the series set-up, the motors that are designed for running in dual configurations will give you optimum performance and will minimize drive train wear.
Motors in parallel double the load on the speed control. For this reason you should not run motors with fewer turns than are available in a single motor. For example, if the lowest number of turns you can get is an 8 turn motor, each of your dual motors should be 15 or 16 turns.
