: So i know for future reference, could you explain why. I can't seem to figure out why 4 motors would take the same amount of power that 2 motors does.

Well It depends on a lot of factors but basically you have 4 motors pulling 25% of the load each insted of having 2 motors pulling 50% of the load each. So depending on the motor used and its torque and other factors it could be possable to have 4 motors pulling less amperage than just 2. It would also lessen the load on the motors (as a whole) and might help to prolong the life of the motor.

That is what I think anyway.
