Can my ESC handle this?
I have a QUICRUN 1060 brushed ESC that can take 2S or 3S lipo. It can handle ONE 540 or 550 motor and has 60A cont. / 360A peak current. What I want to know is can it handle TWO smaller 300-size motors running a 2S lipo?
Excuse my ignorance but I am having some difficulty fully understanding the brushed motor form factors. If 300 is incorrect then just to clarify I am referring to one size smaller than the 550/540's typically found in a 1/10 Traxxas Stampede, Rustler, etc.. It is the same motor size in some of my 1/12 scale cars and is the same size the Redcat RS10 (MOA) crawler uses.
I know nothing more about the motors as they have no identification on them. I am trying to piece together an old 1/10 scale (1980's?) buggy. It is 4wd but has two separate 300 motors for the front and rear wheels. I need an ESC that can handle the current for both motors and I happen to have a spare QUICRUN 1060 lying around.

Yeah, looks like a 380 motor. Thanks for clearing that up! I understand I can purchase a dual motor ESC but the whole point of my question is to see if the ESC I already have on hand will handle this since I do not want to purchase another ESC for a tinkering project.
