Looking for Suggestion, Opinion.

I was hoping to get some advice on modding my sons car as he’s now getting rather heavy for the 2wd I was hoping to upgrade to 4wd. Is this as simple as wiring 2 front wheel motors to the rear wheel motors.

Welcome?
You need to provide more info as to what vehicle etc.

Doubtful. You will most likely need more power to spin a extra axle. I have no clue if the motors are wired in series, parallel, or whatever other voodoo electicians do that I don't understand. ?‍ So in short, no.

Get on wish or bang good and get him a 4wd to start.

You would need to run them in parallel. And would need a second esc for the front two. Also you would need a radio capable of channel mixing. You would also have to understand that depending in the load in each motor it could cause one motor the "spin out" normally this is why you see 2 motors running through gears so they both have to pull evenly. Is can and has been done, just need to be a bit more technical about your approach. Realistically it would be far cheaper to buy a 4wd model, depending in what your starting from. I'm no electric genius but it's quite the task you have ahead of you.
