Question running two esc's?

I am currently using one tekin rebel (not rebel 2) to run my clod with two 16t speed gems.

I have a chance to get another rebel cheap, so can I run 1 esc per motor? and how would I wire them both to the recever (sp?)?

Did a search but came up with nothing.

you could look for a y harness for a servo (alot of people use them for a cheap 4ws.... it will splice it for you to use the two escs in one opening in the reciever, your only problem is you will have to run 2 batts or one big one to power both escs ...

yould be better off selling what you have and getting what you need... hope this helps

Y Harness is your best bet, problem is getting the ESC to work together in sync, typically one will be a little bit a head of the other.

Buy a 4 channel radio so you can digg the front or rear. It would take some getting used to but it is a rad setup. Then again you have 16 turn motors which are fast so that might not be the best idea.
