Is it feasible to connect two brushless motors to one ESC? If they are sensorless motors, wired parallel and you have a 4 cell li po connected to one ESC, would it run two 400 sized brushless motors?
It can and has been done, but it can be difficult to make it work. See page 2 of [link=http://www.castlecreations.com/media/castle_scribe_archives/Castle%20Scribe%20CE-03-Mar2006.pdf]this PDF[/link] from Castle Creations.
[link=http://www.kontronik.com/DSet400480Motse.htm]Kontronik[/link] still shows a product called Twin Drive on their web site. It's a combination of two brushless motors and an ESC. I've seen it for sale on a few web sites, but it is expensive -- much more expensive than just buying two ordinary brushless motors and two normal ESCs.
