Default RE: question about electric setup

ORIGINAL: Believe It

ok... so i mainly play with nitro boats, but have a old Kyosho Heatwave hull that im going to put twin outboards on (either the EP1's or GTX650's) for a fun cruiser. My question is.... am i going to need to run two ESC's? If so or not, what ESC's should i look into? What kind of battery setup should i run to power both motors?
For the GTX650's I would run a 6 or 7-cell battery. Any brushed electric motors can be paired to one brushed ESC. Two brushless motors would need their own individual brushless ESC. Just make sure the ESC can handle 2 times the current draw of one motor.
