I'm nearing completion of the Dumas American Enterprise. I'm going with two of the Graupner mini jet drives, powered by the Speed 500 motors (two, of course). I'd like to know (since they'll both need to run at the same speed all the time, and forward only), if it is possible to control them both with just one ESC? If anyone has any experience with this, I'd love to hear your opinions.
Possibly recommend an ESC that would be sufficient as far as handling the required amps, ect. I'm not looking for speed here, just a scale like motion at full throttle, and the maneuvering when coming alongside the dock to moor. Of course, cheaper is better if it can be done so. Thanks in advance, I'm new here, and after reading the scale forum for the last few hours, I must say I'm genuinely impressed with the knowledge of the members here!
texas, running two 500's off a single esc, I dont think that will give you much trouble as long as your esc is beefy enough, for such application I'd be tempted to try Proboat/overlander "Tornado50" or if you are using thrust reverse buckets for reverse thrust, an aircraft type esc
