Default RE: adding an ESC to a first gen Tamiya Sherman

ORIGINAL: Dmon1996

As I wait for my Sherman to arrive, I am already deciding on my course of customizing action. I am planning on keeping the stock clutch system and motors (2 of RS380), but I want to add an ESC to allow for variable speed. My question is should I spring for a dual motor ESC or just put in a simple ESC supplying to both motors? There is a lot more ESC's than there are dual motor ESC's, and are cheaper to boot. I figure two RS380 motors are not using as much as one RS540, so current handling would not be a problem.

Any thoughts?

I have a pair of sherman gearboxes here if you want to swap for the early clutch type the ones I have in good condition here is a pic
