are you talking about the 20 something turn Mag Mahem motors we all ran in clods a couple of years ago.
I think if you were to wire them moa style(if you were doing that) it might be fine. However with dual motors i remember something about multiplying the turns by 2 or something like that vs. the speedos turn limit. Im a bit fuzzy on this though

Wow, look at this cool picture I found.



550 motors, depending which one you have, I would not trust the XL-5 to do well with two.

The Castle might take it.

So for example say i have two 20t motors the esc needs to beable to handle one 40t? guess ill pull the motors and see what they are I know there not the mag mayham motors the say mega something

Got it backwards. If you run two 20t motors the esc needs to be rated for a single 10t motor. Traxxas says:

New XL-5 ESC Features

• 15-turn motor limit for 540 size motors
• 12-turn motor limit for 550 size motors

So a pair of 22 turn 360's (550 can) would present an 11 turn load to the esc. Turns vs amps isn't an exact science so you could certainly try it with the XL-5 just keep an eye on temps.

What a cool pic EeePee! I remember when the first guy showed up to race with his new Optima and a 240S thinking what a rocket that thing was. Come to find out that was only a 19 turn! That and saving my paper route money for a 480G in my RC10 six gear. Thanks again for sharing the pic, great memories.

this is what you need! no brushed motor limint, so it'll take them duals just fine!

if running motors in parrallel you take the turns and cut in half 2 20t's=1 10t but if running in series the you double it 2 20t's= 1 40t. but 99% of the time dual motors will be wired in parrallel.
does the holmes brxl have no turn limit for dual motors to or just no limit for singles? because i have an old school super rooster for my race clod which has no single motor turn limit but with dual motors in parrallel its only rated down to like 15t.
