    Fightercat CF Shocker Twin Leopards

    I finished transferring my Fantasm components over into my Shocker. Thanks again to Fightercat for taking care of me, he's a great guy!!!

    One interesting thing, one of my 300a ESC's failed on me so for *!***!***!***!**s and giggles I spliced my remaining esc to run 2 motors. Why? Just to see what happens. I am a Kinesthetic learner and just one heck of a curious person. To my surprise, this thing hauls a$$ and so far has no issues. When, not if, but when it goes I will just throw some 180a Turnigy's in there, it will be my fun lake boat. Its small enough that I can put it in my boat, find a nice cove, and play with it. I will leave the real speed to my MHZ Mystic KBB is building for me!!!!! Woo Woo

    So your running two motors off a single esc that's meant for a single motor? I never thought that would work. Lol!

      Don't push it too hard. I'd like to see if it lives. Thanks for posting T.

                  My brother In-law did the same thing with a fighter cat esc about 2 years ago and his lasted about 30 runs and then it just went up in smoke. Maybe because we pushed it too hard lol.

                    Two years ago that is just what those ESC's did.

                      I agree!!! But he still has a few FC esc's that are still going strong and they get pushed to the limits.

                        Still working........ Granted I haven't totally hammered it but man I am impressed........ I actually tried it awhile ago on a bench table with a swordfish 300, it ran like *!***!***!***!**........ I am thinking it has something to do with the timing? Don't sword fish's have the ability to do a lot of timing whereas the fliers don't? I am just guessing
