Yes, you can.

You will need to create a Y Connector for the battery to both escs and the esc signal wire to both escs.

For the esc signal wire, you would need to remove the positive wire that goes to the receiver. If both escs are opto and you use a ubec/sbec you won't need to remove the positive wire.

Does running 2 esc cause problems? Assuming the motors would not be in perfect sync so if you setup them up with one motor on each truck would it cause the board to pull in one direction?

If running (2) separate single escs the start up for both may start at separate times. Once both connected, they run exactly the same at the exact same time.

If they do pull in one direction it can be due to the setup itself and/or the wheels being lopsided.

I have forgone the y connector in my setup by forcing two pcb pins through one of the reciever wires. saves on space, no problems with it (yet)

Thanks for sharing. That's a great idea!
