How do I connect 2 esc's to one battery

[Callmecowboy]

Just like the title ask. How do I hook to esc's to one battery? Just put both of the esc's leads to one plug? Should I put a bec in each esc's lead? Reason I'm asking is I'm building a bulldozer. I also ordered a mini jst to standard servo cord. Plan on hooking the servo directly to the reciever. Would that work? The esc's I'm using are the new orlandoo esc's which will drive the orlandoo motors I plan on using

I don't see why soldering both ESC leads to one battery plug wouldn't work. Wire the BEC to the servo instead of the BECs. Or to the rx maybe. That way the ESCs will have close to equal power and workload.

Look up how to wire/smash MOA electronics..

I looked at the moa threads and the only thing is the esc's won't be plugged into the same channel. I want the motors to run independently on separate sticks. I found one good piece of info the said I had to disconnect one of the power wires on the esc's receiver plug. So one esc will have the standard plug with three wires... Say in channel one. The second esc should have a ground wire and signal wire plugged into say channel two. They said the reasoning behind this is so it doesn't fry the receiver? It said because both esc's are powered by one plug that only one should lower the esc. Is this correct?

It was on this thread

The bec is connected to the battery and plugs in to the reciever to power servos etc that plug in to reciever. The red (hot) wire in the reciever plug on BOTH esc should be cut, or it will try to power receiver also. All you need are the ground (black) and signal wire to go to esc. Two main wires from battery need to go to esc, they both can be soldered to same plug as well as bec input eads. Hope this clarifies things for you.

A bit more info after reading the thread again. If you are not using a bec the one hot wire from one esc should remain to power reciever other should be removed from reciever plug and protected so it doesn't short on anything. It will still be hot. The one hot wire from one esc will power all the things plugged in to the receiver. All the hots and grounds are connected inside receiver so it only needs one HOT input. Bulldozer huh? The u
ltimate crawler ��

For a MOA yes you can pull a red wire from esc.
But I've ran both red wires from esc's in the receiver with
problems. My BEC powers servo only.

 

[Callmecowboy]

So I have to sacrifice a channel on the receiver just for the battery? It wouldn't work to use one esc to power the receiver? And the other esc just provide a signal

Yes, you can power receiver with one esc.

I personally don't have ground wires connected to my receiver for my servo just the signal wire. Been this way for yrs without issues.

Check esc voltage output and receiver voltage max input.
