    wiring

    Hopefully someone can help me with this.I am building a cat and it will be dual motors.They are 3674-2075kv,with 2 hk 125amp esc and 2 5000mah 4cell batteries 45c.Can someone let me know how to wire this up,I have heard I should go parallel,because series would not be good because one battery could die before the other one. Which would not be good.A clear picture or diagram would be great.This a Genesis build.
    Thankyou

    Before I changed my mind to a single setup I was planning on wiring my cat as two individual setups with both escs plugged into my receiver, disabling the power wire on one of the esc to rx plugs.
    Would be one battery per motor and esc, a separate left and right side only connected at the receiver.
    You may have to use a Y-harness to connect both of your escs to the receiver, depends on what you have.
    Not sure what you mean by series or parallel, if you connect batteries either way the will discharge basically the same, one way you are doubling the voltage, running an 8s 5000mah setup, parallel would be a 4s 10000mah setup.
    The escs are hooked up in parallel, no other way to connect them.
    If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

        I setup my twin cat as if they were 2 separate systems. I did what the husky says about the 1 red wire from the ESC to the RX via a Y harness. Just make sure that the ESC wired to the RX for power is hooked up to the battery first and disconnected last.

          Thanks alot guys,I guess the big decision is whether I go parallel or single.
