On these brushless systems how would you go about linking up two motors(yes its clod related!!) would you get two motors and run it through a higher amp esc as in 2 x 35 amp motors and a 70 amp? or could you run two esc`s from one battery/reciever?

I think you could run 2 ESCs from a receiver, by either putting wires in paralel or having 2 slots for one channel, like some receivers from traxxas have for a second steering servo. 2 motors from one esc is a whole different thing... I think it can only be done with a sensorless system to start off, and you need one **** of a strong ESC t hold up a (for the ESC) relatively mild motor :lol:

For dual brushless you use a j-connector double adapter and remove 1 of the red wires from 1 esc only so the reciever is being powered by only one of the battery/ESCs. The black wire and signal wire (usually white) will still tell the 2nd ESC what position the throttle is on.

You need 1 receiver, 1 Y j-connector, 2 brushless ESCs, 2 brushless motors, and it's best with 2 batteries (one for each ESC).

Both motors and ESCs need to be the same specification with same setup and both batteries the same or one motor will drag the other.

The ESC uses the back EMF to know the rotor position. 2 motors on the one ESC will confuse the ESC and it won't know which cycle to send to the motors.
