apposed electric motor control
(OP)
hi
My brother and I are currently building a electric drive car.
I came up with the idea of using two apposing dc motors on a front wheel drive Honda. not being a electronics expert, is there a way to synchronize the motor rpm in a opposed fashion
or does the power you submit to the system do that for you.
and could you run both motors from one controller?
lets assume that the dc wound motor will run in any direction depending on how it is set up.
thanks in advanced for any insight you could offer

The question is, why 2 motors? As you drive on curves you will need to coordinate speeds because of the different arcs of the curves between the inside and outside motors. That makes the control system infinitely more complex. Either use just one wheel mounted motor or adapt a single motor to fit to a differential gear system already in use, i.e. replace the engine.
