I just found an old ESC in my toolbox and I want to use it in a Clod that I'm building next month. It is rated at 13t with a current rating of 180 continuous. I know it will handle a pair of 55t lathe motors but I also want to be able to drop in a faster pair of motors for playing around in the back yard. How low can I go in parallel? in series? Also, is there a way to disable the BEC so that I can run a 6v pack ( the ESC only puts out 5v ).

you can disable the bec, but it could be tricky and a bit dangerous [depends on the setup sequence of the esc]. you may use dual 27t for sure, and with 180amps continious, means that you can go as low as 21t [really depends on the motor specs].

In parallel theoretically could take 2 26 turn motors. In series it could take 2 7 turn motors.

What ESC is it? It should be fairly straight forward to do by removing one of the wires from the ESC to the receiver. It should be in your ESC's manual if you still have it. For my Novak NESC-T4 manual: Disconnect the red wire in the speed control input harness as follows... If the input harness is a Futaba G: cut the red wire and insulate both wire ends. If the input harness is an Airtronics, Futaba J, KO or Kyosho: remove the pin from the plastic housing and insulate the exposed pin.

Of course, if you've got a different ESC, that may not be entirely correct.

would a tekin tcs g-12 handle 2 19 turn or 16 turn motors wired in parrallel? I am also needing this for my racing clod I have this esc and it has no turn limit on a single motor so am I right it will handle two 16 or 19 turn motors? Please help I will be racing and bashing this clod I built an all alloy chassis and it has a 16" wheelbase. I will also be running a 4 rear stampede shocks.
