twin engined electric plane setup options????
i have ordered two brush less motors and esc combo's. And i also got some servo extenders,
this is all for a homemade rc plane i am currently about to finish.
i was wondering. how do i connect the two brush less ESC's together so i can use just 1 2100Mah 3S battery?????
could i create a universal deans plug????. i ordered a 3 pack of them from the website.
if you could, supply some links or something to get me in shape here????. [X(]

I do it this way...
It works with or without the red wire in one of the ESCs to receiver lead cut.
I cut the red wire in an extension and use it, rather than cut the wire in the lead that comes with the ESC. Makes it easier to use the ESC in another plane with no need to repair anything.

Paul, rather than cutting the red power wire on the extension lead why not just remove the red wire out of the conector of the ESC and tape it back, when need then just reinsert.

RE: twin engined electric plane setup options????
very good help .
so your only using 1 deans plug to connect two ESC's together????.
wouldnt the voltage from a 2100mah battery fry that thing???.

I've tried that, and have had the pin fail to remain back in the connector when it's replaced.
Cutting up an extension is better from the reliability in the future standpoint.
