Motor

Can you use the same controller (tallon) for more than one motor?

In most circumstances only a single legal motor can be fed from each motor controller, there are specific exceptions for the motors that are on the lower end of the current draw spectrum.

See R35:

Re: Motor

A limited subset of motors may have up to two motors per motor controller. These are prescribed in rule R35.

This is allowed for:
Automotive Window/Door/Windshield/Wiper/Seat/Throttle Motors
AndyMark PG
Snow-Blower Motor
NeverRest

(Disallowed for CIMs, miniCIMs, BAG, AM 9015, 775 pros and all Banebot motors)

And just to make it clear you can only use two with motor controllers, not relays.
