Title: Using Two Brushless at once??
Post by: naatumach on September 20, 2010, 02:25:33 AM
If i intend to use two counter rotating brushless motors to get a more stable flight.
I will have to use 2 sets of Motor+esc. and connect them using Y-connector. BUT if i do so. i will be connecting two batteries to the Rx through my esc which in means i stand a good chance of burning my Rx (which incidentally i have a lot of experience in  :banghead: ).
I also considered using a common ESC but i dont know if this idea will work. And if it would will i have to get an esc of combined amp or the the motors will be in parallel?
My question-
HOW DO I PUT TWO MOTORS WITHOUT BURNING THE Rx?

in that case you should take out the middle wire of an esc ,it doesn't matter which one

Pratee kis right, bout you can use another strategy:
           
                       Diode IN4001
/-----------\    (+)     |\|____ 
|                | --------|/|
|                |     (-)   
|  ESC 1      | ---------------
|                |  (PWM)
|                | ---------------
\-----------/

                       Diode IN4001
/-----------\    (+)     |\|____ 
|                | --------|/|
|                |     (-)   
|  ESC 2      | ---------------
|                |  (PWM)
|                | ---------------
\-----------/


Put one IN4001 Diode in series of the Positive line of each of the ESC before they reach the Y cable. This would give kind of fail safe and provide more power. This diode is very easily available at any radio/tv parts or repair shop for over 1 Rs a piece.

enclosed is the  diagram for connecting 2 motors .

Cut the positive of 1 ESC or on 1 of the branches of the Y connector .
