    280 Motor Problem

    I have a Revell VIIC Subdriver and just installed 2 brand new 280 motors supplied by David. I wired my motors in parallel to have them counter rotate but one turns fast and the other turns slow or it doesnt turn at all. If I go full throttle and pinch the shaft of the one thats turning the other one turns but they do not turn the same rpm together. I tried another set of motors with the same thing happening. What am I overlooking?

    Check your wiring -- sounds like a series connected pair of motors.
