Twin esc - bec disconnect

[circus162]

On a twin esc set-up is it best to disconnect the red wire at each esc, or should I pull the wire on the receiver plug of the Y harness.
Thanks

pull it on one ESC before the y harness, or both before the wire harness, basically you don't want two bec's to touch each other

I pull both red wires coming from the ESC before the Y harness.

If you pulled both becs then you have to run a seperate batt. for the rx. When you run a twin motor setup the two esc that you are going to run with both have bec built in so you have to take the red wire out of one of them because you can not run both of them putting out power to the rx it wil be to much power for the rx. if you look on the bec plug you will see how it is held in there,you bend the little clip back on the red wire and remove it then bend the wire back and tape it.That way if you need to put it back you can. Hope this helps

I'll assume you're using a RX pack. Just pull the wire on the Y harness going to the rx and shrink wrap it.

I heard the BEC's compete against each other, i guess that's only when supplying current.

If both ESC have BEC this will not isolate them.
Disconnect the red wires from the 2xESC leads that plug to the Y.
Neither can then affect the other, or the Rx supply.
Remember many ESC need that red wire in place to be programed by card.. so dont cut it out... just disconnect and cover with HS.

Thanks. Being that I'll need the red esc lead to program, can I pull the 2 red leads on the y ahead of the junction, and leave the esc intact for programming?

Sure
So long the red wires are electrically isolated ( dont touch) there wont be a problem.

I run seperate battery packs for the RX and servo's.
