I have retrofitted both gear motors from a Kidtrax BMW car to a beach cart I'm building. I only need the slow speed, 2.5 mph, or something close to that. Wired in series, I get the slower speed, but one motor runs slow, and almost stops when off the ground. I understand from what I've read that this is normal. How can I be sure both wheels are pulling when on the ground with a load? I just want to make sure both wheels are pulling for better traction through loose sand. Will always running the motors at slower speed cause them to burn out faster? Very simple set up, I only need FWD & slow speed for treks down the beach and back.
