What ESC's are avail to allow running dual motors? I have the EVX in my clod right now, but the last one didnt last very long. The clod is mainly used for crawling as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

On the cheap side, a Moped can handle dual crawler motors. Novak's Super Rooster and Super Duty both handle dual motors, and the Mamba Max does as well.

Those were just off the top of my head as I know there are a bunch more out there too.

Ive looked at the moped, but im sketchy on it. Im going to do some searching on this site and see what else i can find about it. Thanks for your help.

I wouldn't waste my time or money on a Moped.

clodsrule · 10-09-2008, 08:44 AM

thats what im finding from my searchs.

cjsmith4 · 10-09-2008, 08:50 AM

if those are the only two you are looking at, go with a novak esc

I'm using a Tekin FXR for two motors - works great

j33pownr · 10-09-2008, 09:04 AM

Which ESC you get also depends on your battery voltage and motors you get. What motor and battery setup do you have on the FXR Yawzer? I was thinking about doing the same thing.

j33 - I'm running 2 Integy pro 45t and both a 8 cell (2/3A) and 3 cell 2200 lipo - both work great - more wheel speed/power with the lipo. My build Yawzer's Slingshot / Hr Axle Build

clodsrule · 10-09-2008, 10:34 AM

im just going to go with a couple integy 65t motors and dual 4200 packs. i guess ill just see how long the evx will last. is the Tekin FXR a dual battery as well?

crazydevil97 · 12-30-2008, 08:50 AM

Slightly off topic but can you run say a 3 cell 8000mah pack on a mamba max with dual 45t integy motors?

Culetto · 12-30-2008, 11:49 AM

Go with Castle. Sidewinder is only like $75 bucks at HolmesHobbies.com and it will run a 3s lipo and dual motors and never even get warm. I ran mine with a 4300kv brushless motor in an 1/8th scale buggy and it only barely broke a sweat. The mamba max is only a little bit more dough and it comes with the programming software and cables.

i second the sidewinder...just make sure to buy the cable (less than 30 bux), so you have the option of computer tuning. I love mine, and its getting moved into my new berg with twin 45t motors...the guys at castle say it wont even notice twin crawler motors...

crazydevil97 · 12-30-2008, 02:51 PM

Well I say mamba max instead of sidewinder cuz for the price of the sidewinder and the link I can jus buy a mamba max. Thanx for the input tho

I run a xl5 with two johnson 540 cans runs two 9.6v 3800mah nimh pack every day.

jombo · 12-30-2008, 06:16 PM

i vote fx/r no cables to program and can be done at the coarse for fine tuning, and it can handle 3 cell lipo and dual motors .
