Twin Brushless

[Nigel Taily 1Participant @nigeltaily1]

I want to put 2x brushless in my Huntsman. I plan to only use 1 ESC.

Can I get 1 of the motors to run counter-clockwise while the other runs clockwise?

it was easy with the brushed motors as I simply swapped black for red.
Does that work with brushless?

Thanks

Hi Nigel,

More knowledgeable people will be able to give more detail but basically you need to have 1 brushless ESC for each brushless motor, in your case 2 ESC’s and 2 motors.

They can be connected to the same receiver channel with a ‘Y’ cable if desired. To reverse direction of spin simply swap 2 of the 3 wires between ESC and motor.

When using 2 ESC’s you should remove the +ve wire from one ESC to prevent them both trying to provide power to the receiver.

There is an article on this site that gives more detail on brushless motors.

Going brushless?
