Dual ESC's with BEC - Problems using two speed controls?

[Guest]

As an electronically challenged modeller, I'm concerned that there might be a conflict or problem running two motors, each by a separate speed controller with BEC, with each ESC plugged into its own receiver channel . Will there be interference because of the dual BEC's, or is there no problem? Will I get extra power for servos with both BEC's working? Thanks for any info you can provide.

Given the tolerance inherent in all electronic components, having two BEC's supplying EXACTLY the same voltage is pretty much impossible and the imbalance can cause problems.

If the speed controls have the ability to turn the BEC function off, turn one of them off. You really only need one.

If you can't turn the BEC off, u can just unplug the red wire from the connector on one speed control, this will prevent the ESC from sending power to the receiver.

if your are using a BEVR then dissconnect both red wires from the rx side plug
