I am curious is there an esc out there that can run two brushless motors?I got a feeling about something.

not efficiently, this question has been asked about a buzzilion times...

just get one big motor

Sorry for asking the buzzilion and one question.lol Well i wonder if Traxxas could be working up a dual brushless motor E-Maxx?Christmas is comming.

j.m.

I don't know if it would work, but i know this could handle it: (and it's so cheap you don't have to wait for Christmas)

or just get two of those and run them with one of these since they are so cheap: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXUR75&P=ML

For the 5th time stop reccomending plane ESC's for a car/truck. It just wont work as good. I say get dual brushed esc's and dual brushed motors just to play it safe.

Why would you ever want to run two brushless motors in the same truck. Much more effective, and less costly, to run a single, larger motor like an XL can motor if you need the torque. Two motors is a waste of money. It's just like with a real car, you want a more powerful car, you don't add another engine, you just make the engine it has better.

Whoop die frikin doo, way to find a cheap ESC with high ratings that has been posted several times before and link everyone too it every chance you have. First of all its a plane ESC, second of all its a no name ESC, and third of all it cant run dual brushless motors. I'm glad we have Td correcting all your posts.

I always try to tell people too NO PROPORTIONAL BRAKING on those plane esc's. Its either full brakes or no brakes, you cannot control a car like that. I wish people on this forum would stop recommending bad information in case people who actually need help listen to them.

You can use a ESC like that, BUT only if it's a nitro vehicle where braking with a motor won't do anything; you have to use the mechanical brake to stop the vehicle.

Not that the ESC listed would do what is wanted, though...

Not all plane ESCs are that bad though. Two of Nic's cars for the Max Speed Challenge used Phoenix-HV ESCs from castle. You can set custom break strength, break delay, and break ramp, along with throttle response and current limit. For a touring car on pavement this is not that bad.
