Twin Speed COntroller
 
Is there such thing as a twin engine speed control.

Well, that depends. Are you controlling a brushless or brushed(can type) set of motors? Quick and dirty, Brushed motors, no problem - but use a speed control that's rated for the expected peak current draw for both(or all) motors. If it's a brushless setup, unfortunately, you'll need a control for each motor. I beleive Jeti(?) or Castle is coming out with a multi speed control soon, but I don't have any info yet. I hope so! I need a couple. :D

CWRR5: In September,2004, I sent Castle Creations an inquiry on controllers for twin, brushless applications, and the response from Product Support was exactly what I expected..."A twin controller would simple be two controllers shrink wrapped together or put on one board. It is easy to design a sensored controller that will work with twins but there are no sensored motors on the market anymore." While it wasn't stated explicitly, the response didn't imply that such a controller was in development.
