If I have four motors this year how can I put two on one joystick and two on the other (We are using two more periodically for high torque pushing and pulling). [/b]
The simplest way I have found to do this, sombody correct me if I am wrong, is to put your "right drive motor" variable in 2 places in the serial out line then do the same with the "left drive motor" variable. Now you can run 4 PWM wires to 4 Victors (2 for RH motors and 2 for LH motors) Both RH victors will be getting the same signal. As will both LH victors.

Maybe someone more eloquent than myself can explain that better.
