Wiring motors in tandem?

[Satyr69GT]

Got A question. I was given A starter box without any motors. I have 2 good motors that I want to put in it. But I'm not sure how to wire it up without frying the motors :eek: The switch is still there. I have both electric & nitro cars so I figured this forum could help me out better with a diagram or instructions on how to do it. Thankx for any help :D

This is a crude diagram of how my dual motor box is wired. It has the wires for the dual stick packs also but I left it out. It's a simple layout, just be sure to wire the motors in series. I tried it with them wired in parallel to see if I could get more power and they get too hot.

Edit.... Well I can't get the pic to upload. Basically all you have to do is wire from the + batt through the on/off switch, through the pressure switch and then through the motors in series and back to the - batt terminal.
