dual esc's dual batteries, single 700 neo
will this work?
can i use two identical 30amp esc's in parrallel?
would it work in series or would i fry the esc's ?
i plan to use a y harness for the control side of things, and two 8 cell 3300 packs the esc's can handle 10cell, but 40amp peak

novacat,
If the motor pulls 40 amps, then the two 30 amp ESCs are going to 'not like it a bit', and probably turn into lumps of charcoal. Better option would be a single ESC which can handle the required current.

Hi Novacat,
Depending on the load and set-up of the boat a 700 Neo pulls an average of 25 A, in my surface drive Mono2 hull this works fine with a 35A Jeti ESC, which I've watercooled, on 12 cells and a 45mm K-series prop.
What boat do you want to run this set-up in?
I have to agree with Doc, that 30A is a bit meager, as the starting currents may well be twice as high as the average ampdraw.
Maybe with the ESC watercooled and a small prop (40-42mm on a surface drive, 36-38mm submerged) it will work, but it will be on the edge.
Regards, Jan.
