Do you think you could see about finding more information about this? I have done searches and can't find any reports of issues, but I may be looking for the wrong thing. I could definitely see some issues with cogging on startup from a dead stop which if done repeatedly could cause issues, but I plan on always running the motors at at least a low speed which would decrease if not eliminate this issue.

Seems like everything related to multiple brushless motors involves trying to run two with the same ESC.
