How Do You Run Two Motors on an RC Car?

Running two motors on an RC car is an exciting way to maximize the car’s performance. With two motors, you can increase the speed, power, and maneuverability of your car.

This is especially true with larger and faster cars such as monster trucks. However, running two motors on a single RC car requires a few modifications in order to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

The first step is to install twin motors on your vehicle. Depending on the type of car you have, this may require some modifications.

You may need to drill holes in the chassis or body of the car in order to mount the motors securely. Make sure that all wiring is adequately insulated and protected from damage.

Once you have installed the two motors, you will need to connect them up to the power source (typically a battery). You will also need to link them up with a speed control system so that they run at the same speed and do not cause any damage to each other or your vehicle.

After you have connected everything correctly, it’s time to install a receiver that will allow you to control both motors with one remote control unit. This can be done by using either a Y-harness or twin receivers. A Y-harness allows both receivers to be connected together so that one receiver controls both motors.

Twin receivers can also be used but require two separate remote control units.

Once your receiver is installed and everything is connected correctly, it’s time for testing! Make sure that both motors are running at the same speed by checking with a multimeter or other measuring device. Then take it for a test drive and make sure everything works correctly before taking it out for real driving.

Conclusion:
Running two motors on an RC car can provide increased speed, power and maneuverability but requires some modifications such as installing twin motors and connecting them up with a speed control system as well as installing a receiver that allows both of them to be controlled with one remote control unit. Finally, make sure that both motors are running at the same speed before taking it out for real driving!
