On the subject of series vs parallel motor wiring, theoretically for a given speed, each motor in the series configuration receives the same power input as it would with the parallel arrangement. Remember that one of the reasons for switching to series is to avoid jack-rabbit starts. The throttle has to be advanced further and for a given speed roughly twice the voltage is applied to the series combination. This results in the same current as each motor saw in the parallel setup with the lower throttle startup. Also, the current load on the control system is halved which is useful in many cases.
