    Twin Setup Question

    So I have my supercat just about ready to hit the water.. I am running twin etti 150's.... forgive me here as I am a NEWBIE at this twin thing.... anyway I noticed in Bakedmopars twin skunkwork build he ran the esc's positive and negative wire together like being in Series???

    So my question is, is this a way to run both motors off one set of batts? I want to run two 5s packs in the boat on two 10xl's, was gonna run them totally seperately with a y adapter to the speedos but now am wondering if I am supposed to run them through the esc's as pictured here by bakedmopar???

    I would not run like you have in the picture

    run them totally seperately with a y adapter to the speedos like you wanted too

    you do want each 10xl motor to run on its own 5s lipo right?

    to me this is the propper way and use a y adaptor for the output of a single rx pack

      I was gonna run a Y adapter for the ESC's to one reciever... right.... I will only need one reciever pack still right? just the Y adapter to tell both esc's the same thing...?

          just a little heads up for twins

          double and tripple check you have both props, both flex shafts rotating in the propper direction...it gets confusing trying to figure what direction the R&L flex shafts are supposed to rotate if you dont have them marked properly
