imported_mavrick0 You only need a 2 channel RX and a y-harness for the 2 ESC's. They will both plug into the y-harness and then into the throttle side of the ESC. Only thing you need to do is on one RX disconnect the red wire, either by cutting it off or pulling the pin out of the plug and shrink tubing it to avoid it shorting out.

Do you mean having two spots on the reciever for the 2nd channel? Or will any 3 channel rx work?

imported_Leadfoot Would I just wire both reciever connectors into one plug to control them at the same time?

re esc

you would need 2 esc to run your 2 brushless motors anyways .

you could use dual traxxas esc to power your motors

re 2 motors with 1 esc

its unlikely a single esc will power 2 brushless motors especially the traxxas esc. i have seen rc boats with dual brushless motors but theres dual esc as well.

Two motors with one esc?

I am considering running two traxxas Velineon 3500kv motors. My question is can one Velineon 3s esc handle both? Thanks.
