  • One ESC with two EDFs?

    I hope the title says it all, but just in case: Did anybody has any experience with using two EDFs with one (properly oversized) ECS? Would both motors run then at the same speed? Or would it create a problem I didn't think of?
    Any input is welcome
    Thanks,

      If you read down through the 41 comments for that video you will find 2 that are spot on.
      I have copy/pasted them below.


      "I see several folks have debunked this theory and have to wonder why the OP hasn't updated the video to show that his test isn't under any load and is misrepresenting something that has no practical use?"


      "one major flaw. if you put load on just one of the motors, the motor with less load will spin faster and receive more current.
      its called path of least resistance. just run individual esc per motor unless you acquire a dual motor esc that is meant for it."

      There is a reason that each motor has it's own ESC. The disciplines of electrical theory are valid and are the reason why that video is BS
