Great Planes Twinstar
No luck getting engines (motors) to sync. 2 motors with 2 esc's and one battery. I have seen reports on problems with "Y" on 2 esc's. what to do? I already set high and low on each motor separately. Modifying the Y connector? I have left motor running a pusher prop and right motor using a tractor prop

you did cut one esc red wires out correct? But before you do that unplug one esc from the receiver and do a throttle re-initialization first on each esc on their own then cut the red wire off one. This should make each motor run the same.Typically the right is clockwise and left is counter clockwise in rotation.
Hope this helps!

If that doesn't work, do you have a spare channel? If so, you may be able to slave one channel to the throttle, and make minor adjustments to subtrim and control range. You still have to disable one BEC, though.

good idea......why should a red wire be cut from one ESC?

[OV10]

Because "standard" switched ESC's will fight each other......you can only have one of the two hooked to the Rx. You do not need to cut the red wire......just lift the keeper on the connector and pull the pin out and elec tape it from ground contact since it is a voltage potential.
