Re: Wiring Question

While you're doing all this, it might be a good time to go back and address your original problem, which was making them both go the same speed. Maybe you could just use the whole shaft and front bearing plate from the existing motors, then add some pulleys to the back ends of the shafts and drive them off the same gearbox with timing belts or light chain.
