What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Why would you need two, if they are getting the signal from the same channel then you cant dig so you dont need two esc's...

just thinking that if you could run twin esc on one channel. that you could use a switch dig and break the signal wire for dig. that would mean that you dont have all the #12 wire. and it would be low voltage so you would not burn up switch. it seems like i have seen a 12v micro switch that was only about a 1/2" square. or you could posibly use a winch control. and it could be used on a tx with no mixxing.

am i thinking in the right direction or making myself look DUMB

THANKS

Yes the ESCs would work, you would have to experiment with loosing signal to the esc to see if it would go into freewheel, or brake upon loss of signal. It will only do one or the other. Setting the dig up on the load side of the esc gives it the ability to either freewheel or brake. It is an interesting solution for building a dig. Keep us posted. You are probably better off with one ESC and a dig on the motor leads though.

Save your money and use one esc and a dig switch or two esc's with mixing on the radio or the new m2 dig from novak.
