Can I get away with this

Yes you can but the main diff takes alot of abuse ...Maybe try some thing like a Out runner with a shaft at both ends. then 1 esc..This is way over kill but might trigger your ideas..

Never understood why people want to run a dual motor setup... Your not going to gain crazy speed cause you have 2 motors, but distribute the load between the two is all. With all the added weight and fab to make it possibly work I just don't see any justification in wasting the time and money IMO.

he will gain alot of speed due to the direct drive . so figure out what he is losing in the gear reduction of the main diff(pinion n spur)..now factor in rpm x V ...so he lost it at 63 now he's looking at ??

comparing as if the pinion and spur gear were a 1:1 ratio, no it wont give more speed. but, it will give more power so you can increase your gear ratio to get more speed out of it.
direct drive is typically going to have a higher gear ratio than direct drive as well though, so will get some speed increase with that, unless it was already geared higher than 1:1
