So it didn't like the starting torque, but then settled down

Ah, yes, this is called 'cogging'. A common issue with sensorless R/C motors. I would have to use sensored motors at the least. I think my total load is going to be too high to reliably run twin R/C motors, the total weight car plus trailer will be around 2 tons (before accounting for the hybrid drive). Still even having a MPG neutral trailer would be nice.
Good news is my trailer is just a wiring job away from being licensed, then I can start thinking about powering it
