Connecting two motors.

Hi guys.

So my plan is to build a DIY RC car just for the fun of it :P
I've ordered 2 775 DC motors, tho one is going 5900 RPM @ 18v and the other one is going 6042 RPM @ 18v.

Now my plan is to connect the two shaft together to stablize the rpm but guessing this could cause some problems.
Could this potentialy damage my mdd10a driver? Im going to be using a 18v Battery.

Hi, mind share the spec of the motor? I believe 18V is fine for MDD10A, but each channel is limited to 10A continuous current. So if you are sure the motor will not consume more than 10A at 18V, then it should be fine to use MDD10A to drive those motors.

When connecting motors with different RPMs, it can be challenging to achieve synchronization between the two motors. The motor with the higher RPM may overpower the slower one, leading to uneven performance and potential damage. Run 3
