Novak makes a few, the Traxxas/Novak EVX uses 2 battry packs, will handle 2 550 size motors. Novak Super Rooster will handle 2 540 size motors and just uses one battery. Novak rooster will do 2 540 motors in series on one battery.There are others, just can't think of them right now.....

i was wondering if any of the lrp or Duratrax brands made any that could handle 2 motors. Tis truck will use a single 6 cell stick pack for power.

the super rooster is a good one, i ran it in my stock motored clod with 14 cells in series. i had a fan on top of it, it worked great. i still have a nib esp esc fan kit if anyone is interested.

Probably any esc with a 10 turn limit or so will handle two 27 turn motors in parallel. If he wires in series then nearly ANY esc will work. Maybe even a mini.

Wire the motors in series. I never thought of that something with a 10 turn limit that sounds interesting if i put a cooling fan on the esc that should help.
So you would wire it ESC to motor 1 and Positive terminal from motor 1 to motor 2 and the same for the negative side?

Yes, if you want to slow it down and use sereis motors. It will also increase front wheel spinning and act like it has a center diff. I do not recommend it for the TD.

One of my best (cheapest) TD was a duratrax streak with 2 stock motors In parallel and 8-11 cells.

you also could get the stock E-Maxx one. the EVX.
