Re: 1 Victor 2 Window Motors

Guys,
Let's remember that many teams this year linked two motors together but the difference is that each was fed separately and could be trimmed for differences between the motors. When fed by only one controller, you are stuck if the motor performance is radically different. How critical that difference is unpredictable. It is something you may just have to experiment with to prove. In this application, I think leaving the locking pins might be indicated.
