Running 2 Cim motors on a single Talon SR

Is it possible to run two cims on the same side of a drivetrain with a single talon SR? The drivetrain we plan to run will incorporate 2 Cims on either side of the bot. If so please let me know how to set up and wire.

Thanks in advance

Re: Running 2 Cim motors on a single Talon SR

Instead of running them off the same speed controller, use a PWM splitter to send the same signal to two different speed controllers. That way you can be sure you're running the motors the same.
