Problems with motors and receiver V2

[Bony_em]

I have a problem with a moc that I am making, it turns out that I have 4 XL motors connected to the V2 receiver, two on each side and when I plug in the 4 motors at the same time the moc stops after a while of use, but if I use only 2 of them (two motors) in one channel run continuously without problems, does anyone know why?

My first thought is that the battery is simply hitting it's protection, since 4 Xls is a lot for one battery to run.

Another thought: do you hear a squealing noise as it gives up? I have a V2 receiver that seems to give up and squeal quite easily. 

I remember building a MOC with one rechargeable battery running four Xls at once. I can't remember how I did the channels, but I think I had all four on a normal receiver split between the two halves. This MOC worked fine on flat ground, but would always give up when I tried off roading. I'd guess you need a second battery and receiver to get it to work.

Yes, I have already solved it, a bit botched because it is a lot of space but hey, what I do is put 2 xl motors in a receiver and the other two in another receiver (1 xl motor in each channel) and also each receiver is connected to a different battery, I don't like this solution at all.

The other option is to go with a third party device like Buwizz that can handle the current.
