    Twin motor "Y" harness?

    Building a 1/12th scale model of an early 55 foot runabout using two Fegaio long armature motors on twin shafts/props. Most likely will be using Octura 955/3 LH and RH props and a 3-1 reduction Dumas gearbox. Have 200 amp speed controls on order and was wondering if there is such a thing as a "Y" harness that will allow me to run both motors from 1 controller? Battery pack is Turnigy matched Nimh 20 cell.

    Thanks

      no you cannot use ONE controller for two motors. Making a long story short, the controller cannot read two signals...
      you can use a Y harness to use the same receiver though.

        He states he is getting 200 amp speed controls so I think he means from 1 RX.
