Default Running ESCs in parallel

I have two 100 amp (no BEC) ESC units that I would like to parallel
to obtain a 200 amp ESC.
Is there a method of doing this.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you

Sydclement

Other than running two separate motors at less than 100A, I don't think so[&o]. Magic smoke release would be inevitable.

BIG NO!
Two captains on one ship, each trying to control voltage and/or RPM.

Only thing I can think of is driving half of the coils with ESC A and the other half with ESC B.

Hi Ron,
I thought that it would be like trying to dance with two women at the same time. One being your wife and the other a former GF
Cheers,
