Re: Connecting Two motors to one Jaguar Controller?

The only repurcussion I can think of is that you'll only be able to utilize part of the power of two cims as your electrical power will be limited to ~420watts. Of course it will also be a whole lot easier to pop a single 40Amp breaker with 2 CIMs.
Are you sure? I don't remember any year where that configuration was legal.

Long story short, one controller to one motor. Thems the rules, and its the safe way do it.
