A. Each CIM motor and Fisher-Price motor must be connected to one and only one approved speed controller. These motors must not be connected to relay modules. |
I believe that rule says one controller per motor. I remember in 2005 we ran two FP motors on one victor because we got the 6V FP motors, and that was legal. I see no advantage to run two motors off of one controller other than cost savings.
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.

The first was a fish, all silver and spotted.
“An opah?” I asked. “Yes,” my friend nodded.
