Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Water Models / July 2003Multiple motors on one ESC?
As long as I don't exceed the ESC's current rating, is there any reason why I can't run multiple motors off a common ESC? Application is a multiprop scale boat, where I don't need to have different speeds on the three shafts. Anyone actually doing this? PM I have 2 Pitmans on one shaft on one ESC, no problems. Mike In my 1/96th scale USS Missouri I run 4 shafts, 1 motor per shaft, 1 ESC runs 2 motors on Port side and another runs 2 motors on the Starboard side. This gives me independent control of port and starboard and I can actually steer the boat using the motors. You are right in that as long as you do not exceed the ratings of the ESC you should have no problems.
