Resolved by EzAng!
I have two brushless motors and speed controls I would like to add to the EZ robot B v4 and I also purchased two 5 amp controllers as I was told I would need them. Do you have a tutorial for adding what I have described? I will be running two separate batteries one for each motor. I will also have a battery for the EZ-Bv4. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I read through ALL the documents online and watched most of the videos. I have it all set up and bought a wifi dongle (wish I knew that before I started). I just need to know what to add for the dual motors for the Synthaim software and how to add setup the wiring on the unit.
Thanks, Adam

thank Jeremie for help
I have all of that, I just need to know how to connect the speed controls to the boards (I got the EZ Robot ones). "I have two brushless motors and speed controls I would like to add to the EZ robot B v4 and I also purchased two 5 amp controllers as I was told I would need them.

Is this the kit you bought @Bullseye?

It seems that it is meant for tanks. You just need the right settings and to make sure you hook it up properly to the EZ-Bv4. You will have to be careful with wiring, if the ESC has an integrated BEC it could output +5V back to the EZ-Bv4 and cause some issues.
good luck with you project
@EzAng,
This thread started with:
Then the Op wrote: your posts are not helping the user.@Bullseye:
Afaik If you have an ESC controller you don't need a 5 amp controller. btw the L298N (controller) the absolute maximum spec is 2 Amps DC continuous, per channel.as an advice, before you buy, ask questions, and validate the answers.
PtP,
I believe Jeremie and I were helping just fine.
Bullseye said "quote"- I am pretty new to this, so please don't assume I know anything : )"
It seemed to me that as he said "quote" I am pretty new to this " - The advice he got form ( I don't know where to buy this stuff) this might be over your head at this time
Bullseye said "quote" - Or is there another solution?
I offered a easier solution for a beginner, I used brushless motors - I made a video of my tank base robot, it worked just fire
the L298N Dual H-Bridge and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control) works fine, I did it as I stated.
Specification: Name: Dual H bridge motor driver module Working mode: H bridge driver (dual) Main control chip: L298N Logic voltage: 5 v The driving voltage: 5 v - 35 v Logic current : 0mA-36mA Drive current: 2 a (MAX single bridge) Storage temperature: - 20 C to + 135 C Max power: 25 w Weight: 30 g Size: 43 * 43 * 27 mm
L298N motor controller board module, ideal for Arduino smart car power UNO MEGA R3 Mega2560 (I used the EZB4)
I even used it with the servo city The Prowler kit: it works fine
The Prowler offers a great starting platform for any robotics project. With 313rpm ball-bearing, metal geared, Premium Planetary Gear Motors and high-traction 5.4" off-road tires, this is one powerful platform!
As Jeremie Said, who works for Synthiam with DJ - "quote" - An H-bridge can be hooked up to a Robot controller just as EzAng mentioned.
PTP "quote" your posts are not helping the user."
I offered a working solution - think this over - You offered no solution, just criticism.
We tried our best.
thank you EzAng
