| How Do You Wire 2 1080’s Together?
Got a Bully II, was gonna use a Holmes BR Mini Dual ESC but can’t find them anywhere. So I have 2 Hobbywing 1080’s and a Holmes V3 Servo sitting here. Can someone show or explain to me how to wire these 2 1080’s together for use in my Bully II comp crawler? Thanks

You could most likely just use a Y adapter at the rx to control both tat the same time. You'd then need two batteries; one for each esc. You could probably Y the batteries together, too. It'd be easier (and pretty cheap) just to run a dual motor esc like the HW 880. https://www.hobbywingdirect.com/prod...18212301930611 |

No big deal. I run a BRMD which is just two ESC’s together. Only thing is to need to mix the channels, My Futaba does that for me. You must disconnect one red wire between the two before plugging into your RX. What TX are you using Hang up and Drive |

| Re: How Do You Wire 2 1080’s Together? I’m using the Airtronics/Sanwa MT4. My plan was to copy the guy’s rig in Finland who won those comps with a Bully II, so that would have been Holmes Team Puller 500 Motors, the BRMD, Holmes V3 Servo, and MT4. Both the BRMD and motors are vaporware at this point .. so I gotta do something. At this point I have the Holmes servo, 1 Hobbywing1080 and another coming on Tuesday, the stock RC4WD motors, and the MT4. So now I need like a diagram/instructions that say i.e. ‘take this wire from the 1080 and solder it to here’ Yeah complete and utter electronics idiot here, I can solder great .. but that’s about it. I was looking last month for someone to just wire this up for me but that didn’t pan out, so I’m at the mercy of someone talking me through this, heck I’ll even pay someone for their time. In the 1:1 world when I’ve had problems getting a locker installed in an axle, or some other issue in my Jeep I’d buy a bunch of beer and pizza and 10 guys from the club who knew what they were doing would show up on Saturday and practically do all the work for me lol. Different world now. Thanks man for chiming in |

Don’t overthink the wiring . Each esc gets plugged into a separate channel on your rx. Disconnect one red wire from one esc..... that’s it , you still need to program each esc, and calibrate each to the rx as normal. Now set your mix on your TX. If you want 7.4 volts to your servo pick up a Holmes rx bypass cord. I’d be good with beer and pie , but that’s a long road trip. So check locally at the LHS for some locals Hang up and Drive |

No problem.... Dutch Apple?Mmmmmmm! Just butt both power leads together, shrink wrap / solder. Biggest “trick” is properly calibrating to the TX, do each individually (I just do each on ch2 separately) I use XT60 plugs, you can stack them, but it’s not needed . Keep it simple, it’s just tiny trucks! Hang up and Drive | |

Mike is correct, just remove the red wire from one esc. But the issue is they don't like being calibreted at the same time. So calibrate them before you install them. I recomend pulling the red crimp from the plug, and heat shrink it. Also the 1080 dosent offer ccw/cw motor direction, so one motor gets soldered backwards. __________________________ Handy gearing spreadsheet |

Just an FYI. Holmes posted on facebook today that he got the BR mini's in and was going to be soldering some up for BR Duals and RTR's.

XT60 vs Deans, personal choice. As a mater of fact, my Bullyll has Deans on it, only one left in my fleet, but as I run small batteries (600-850) Deans has always worked fine. Hang up and Drive | |

| Re: How Do You Wire 2 1080’s Together? Ok cool I’ll just leave it Deans for now. So I have it right on Y’ing both ESC’s power to one lead that goes to the battery?

Yup just make sure they are Bl/Bl Y/Y . Remember though each still must be turned on , and no bypassing the switches Hang up and Drive |
