What ESC for Dual Motors
 

Hello,
I did a search for dual motor esc and clod esc and did not come up with much.

I am trying to find a relatively cheap ESC to use on a Clod crawler. 55t motors. Is the Traxxas the only way to go ? Or would it be better to run 2 ESCs ? If so how would I set up 2 of them ?

Thanks

Are you running four wheel steering or just the front?

for two 55t motors you need an esc that can handle a 27.5 turn motor, so most esc's will work.
the next issue is the bec power, which is why run2jeepn is asking about servos...

Yes,
It is 4 wheel Steer.

i have a novak super duty xr that i had bought for my clodbuster figuring that i would be turning it into a crawler pretty quickly the speed control can handle unlimited turns , a crazy amount of cells and puts out 3 amps bec but it definately wasnt cheap 138.00 from tower

i was thinking about going with either the new novak super duty or save a few bucks and a tekin 2.
what do you all think?
does anyone use the tekin 2 with 2 motors and f+r steer?

i got 55t motors, and 2 jr z650m servos

i called novak a tech told me the super duty xr is for 1/10 scale. i have g made 1:8 stealth the super duty xr wad getting hot .after 10 min. and shutting down after it cooled it was fine again. [2 7cell batterys ] the tech said to try the goat 3s.but i would need 2 of them and a y harness to connect if u dont have enough chanells . he also said goat 3s was 1;10 scale and would not be sure i may need something heavier yet .im lookin for help also .i have 2 motors 55 turn brush and steering ft n rear. 1 more thing he said volts r ur friend and keep the esc cooler he recommended 2, 3 cell lipo and make sure motors r 12 volt [ mine r ] hope this helps i need esc also i did not buy yet not sure im looking 4 something heavier if i can talk to the right person

i have the holmes hobbies esc using 55 turn motors and dual steering and it really works great. it was just over 100 shipped and its water proof. it can also handle up to 6s lipos.

I also have a clod and am in need of a new esc. Mine is not a crawler but has a racing chassis and will be used as a basher. would the holmes hobbies esc still be good for this also? I am assuming the esc your refering to is the torquemaster BR-XL?

im running 2 traxxas xl5 esc in mine. partially because i already had them, but they are also fairly inexpensive to replace them (they were the cheapest brushed esc at the lhs)
