2 ESCs 1 Motor - can two ESCs drive a single brushless motor?

Support my work / pawelspychalski
In the previous episodes of this series, we checked if you can connect two motors to on ESC. In this one, let's check the exact opposite scenario: what happens when you connect 2 ESCs (in parallel) to single motors and open the throttle. Spoiler alert: no, it does not work, and the motor stutters.

Not the same fases were used by the ESC’s in this setup... Redo the test but make sure that the BLHeli settings on both ESC’s are set to normal or reversed direction... Still won’t work, but maybe for a bit longer than 3 seconds...

When I first saw the vid title I wondered if u we’re going to use 1 esc for forward and the other for reverse

[@anthonyclark7290]

This can't work without phase synchronizing the 2 units

What about this with sensord motors .. if it's all parallel wouldn't them sinc do to the polarity revived threw the sensor wires.. because30+30=60Amp would be interesting, or a 300Amp rc car.. motor won't survive it but be interesting

[@mrdrone1386]

Maybe need a esc same beep... code??

[@sharik_rahat]

Have you ever wondered what would happen if we replace the mosfets of a esc with higher rating mosfets to increase the current rating of the esc? Or what if we parallel solder additional identical mosfets to the existing ones to increase the current ratings?

You may cut the gates on the one and drive them from the other ;-)))

[@frasersteen]

LMAO, you absolute legend. Result was disappointing but not exactly surprising.

Hmmm, is it impossible to use some diodes from one ESC to the other or to the motor so current can only be drawn towards the motor, and have that ESC as "dumb", while the other ESC can flow in both directions read position, and simply allow the motor to draw some of the current through the other ESC via diodes?

[@batman_uwu]

You can try using 3 esc with only one wire connected to the motor each...

Great video,

[@joecrupi9381]

Quirky as usual Pawel - love it!

[@h2o-fpv623]

Great video andgood experiment thank u for the lesson.

[@maddercat]

Glad this video exists, I was totally going to try this. LOL

[@fabiom7078]

what if you use two independent power sources? one for each esc?

[@noelrojas-bq7el]

can you make the two esc in series connection to make it 4s?

[@fjtoysaeromodels2176]

Can you do this with brushed esc and motor?

[@mihailgeorgiev1108]

What about sending the signal from 1 ecs direcrly to the transistors of the others

[@tkostang]

So what about in series? And have you tried this with a sensored setup?

[@MCsCreations]

Well... Not the smartest idea, let's say. 😬
