Default RE: Beginners guide to E-flight ?!

ORIGINAL: Mike Parsons

The two speed controllers controller leads will be hooked up to a Y harness and then plugged into the ESC. One battery can be used, but the voltage will need to be higher to run both and the amp rating (on the battery) should be high enough to handle the current.
Wait a minute, is the esc not the same as the speed control ? Isn't the phoenix 10 amp both a speed controller AND an ESC or are these two totally different things ?

You say more juice, but how much ? wouls a 3-cell 730 mah be enough to power two 2208/34 axi motors or do you need more then that ?

Also can you not just use a 25 amp ESC instead of a 10 amp one ? (so that the rule is: as long as the amps of your ESC are bigger then the ones the motor needs, you're safe)

thx,
Prophex
