I would like to synch two small DC motors so they run at the same rpm but in opposite directions. Is there a straightforward (and light) way to do this from a single battery pack? My goal is to turn a pair of props for a model aircraft. Obviously the weight is an issue due to it being an aircraft and the reason for the same speed rotation is to maximise stability.

Edit: I dunno on the subject of brush vs. brushless because I haven't even started this. It's just that I realised the synching is important because this is a free-flight model. It's an A-frame https://amablog.modelaircraft.org/amamuseum/tag/a-frame-twin-pusher/
