Success!!
Here's my solution to the "one throttle on two controllers" problem. Sorry for not taking any inside pictures, but it's a pretty simple mod. I can now go wide open throttle at takeoff without having one of the controllers cutoff.

I just made two hefty connections between the two board's grounds, right where the ground wires enter the boards. Since they are back to back as you can see, the shunts end up on either side of the board. The PCB's end up having a weird angle relative to each other, or else the cases will not fit together smoothly. I tried it out yesterday on my second 2WD ebike build and had fun on some *very* soft and difficult to drive trail surfaces, but was limited by the mini Lipo pack I was using for the tests (1p12s - 5Ah). Here's the frankenbeast:
The bike is made from an old 24" frame (found at the junkyard), a 26" front suspension fork (1$ at garage sale), two nine continent hubs in 20" rims mounted with two 16"X3.00" motocross tires. Oh... and *no* brakes! It only uses the regen brakes to slow down (works well so far even on some pretty steep inclines). And of course it uses a good old wood 2"X3" as a footrest. These tires have CRAZY grip compared to any bike tires I've ever seen, but they weight about 7 pounds each, which is half the weight of each motor/rim. That makes for about 23lbs per wheel, so this thing wants to really stay on it's feet with all that low down weight.
On the second run I managed to rip the back valve out of the tube, I suspect from excess torque combined with the vaseline I used to mount the tires to the rims. I have now been told to use dish soap to mount the tires instead of vaseline which I will try when replacing the tube in a few days.
I'll might post another photo of this odd 2WD bike when I'm done mounting a more appropriate 3p12s lipo pack inside the frame and have finished cleaning up the wiring.
