Hi Bill,
Brushless motors? In a word ... NO. n1
Yes, someone will tell you about this guy who has done it, but the motor start and restart will be unreliable and the ESC can be destryed in startup gone awry.
Brushed motors can be ganged onto the same controller with no problem whatsoever.
until later,

Yes you can use a single timer. Walt brownell uses one timer in his electric twin with good results.
