Default RE: Dual brushless ESC setup

ORIGINAL: Walt Thyng

Leaving both in will result in waaaaay to much amperage for the servos AND the receiver (remember BOTH are powered from the BEC).

Walt, IF the ESCs will allow both to be running in parallel, then by all means do it, there is no such thing as waaay too much amperage, only the device that is drawing the current can draw too much, the two BEC circuits in paralell will still result in only 5V being applied to the receiver/servos, so they will draw the same current, the only difference is that each BEC circuit will have half the current draw, this is definitly a good thing as it increases the number of servos that can be used.
