Default dual motor esc question HELP please

Im buildling a moa crawler. Im going to be running tekin 45t motors. I was wandering, can a single motor esc run the two motors? I have lying around a cc sidewinder, sidewinder v2 and a mamba max pro. Could those run 2 motors? Or should i get an outcry dual esc or someting else.

You can run two motors from any of the above mentioned esc's. Wire the motors up in parallel (both positives on the motors to positive on esc and both negatives on motors to negative on esc). The esc will think it's one 22.5T motor, which won't strain any of those castle esc's. Just make sure you set the esc to brushed motor setting.

You can but you will lose the ability to do mixes, negating the advantage of a moa.

+1 to previous posts.

What radio do you have?
Depending on the radio, you could use 1 ESC and a dig unit to get front & rear dig, or, run dual ESC's (a much better idea).
