Two motors, One speed controller?
hi, I am a beginner at rc ... everything
I have been reading up on things and looking at many airplanes both rtf and arf. I have read that if you have a plane with twin motor that you need two speed controllers.
What if you have two motors that have max current of 15Amps each, can i use a single 30 amp speed control with a y adapter?
This may be a cheaper or lighter solution.

If you use two brushed motors and one ESC does the ESC need to be rated double what one of the motors is rated?
