Running 2 ESC in 1 clod???

[RCholic]

Hello All,
I didn't not have much luck finding the info I was looking for in some searches...
I was leaning towards/trying to waterproof my Clod for the winter and only seem to find "waterproof" ESC's that are only capable of running 1 motor and 1 servo...
My current equipment consists of: 2- 55T (9T front & 10T rear) and 4WS w/ 5645MG's. I use a DX6 w/ an AR6000 receiver and normally a Super Rooster
Since the waterproof ESC's ratings only seem to handle 1 motor and 1 servo... I was wondering if any one has tried using 2 ESC (1 for each Axle) for crawling.... Would there be any benifit having each axle capable of it's own speed??... It would deffinately be more fun/challenging to drive...

I know lots of ppl put their ESC's in a ballon... wouldn't the Super Rooster heat up (with those fins) and melt the ballon???
BESIDES... I know my luck and it's NOT that good OR that would happen!!!
As for a water proof container... haven't been able to find one that would fit in this RC yet... :-(

Thank you for your time and Happy Turkey Day!

Try searching for "digs"
Twin ESCs on clods have been proven in crawling and are widely used.
If your super rooster gets hot enough to melt a balloon then something is wrong with your setup so I would start with that instead of spending $100+ on speed controls that are more or less worthless for crawling

I know those little blue boxes servos come in are waterproof. Just make a notch where the 2 halves meet for the wires, close it, then seal that notch with somthing.

Yeah thats my rig, I think if you already have a dx-6 you should definitly try two esc's, also with the dx-6 you can mix the channels so that both esc drive with one stick and you can proportion it with the other. I have tried this with an v-tail mixer with some success, I prefer the two sticks seperate though.
