A Possibility, 2 ESCs for 1 Motor

[Serum]

To what? directly to the motor? you need someting to surround the wire, to keep the resistance as low as possible. if you solder them to a flat surface, the resistance is higher.

oh, i thought that its better to solder everything together! proffesional racers do that, they even solder teh batt packs.

every plug is a lost, though two good soldering point and one plug can have a lower resistance than one sodered point.

Another reason why using 2 controllers on 1 motor might not be a good idea would be because all controllers are not made 100% equal (as in there are variances, as noticed between 9918 controllers with brake fade). The controllers could be fighting with each other due to their differences, causing extra stress (and possibly smoke!). The basic thing to do to get a more powerful controller would be to add more FETs on. Paralleling 2 controllers almost does this, but there is still the other circuitry that could cause problems.

But aren't those gold bullet plugs good for 100 Amps.... continuous.. but should be more than 100 Amps peak right?...

it's wierd.. why would they use 3.5mm connectors and 12 Gauge wires.... theoretically 12 Gauge wires cannot handle these high amperages....

I'm gonna order 2 of those cheap $50 esc from ebay...

I'll test it out for the purposes of no purpose....

When I find out the result.. I'll let you guys know...

and I'm gonna make a 300Amp ESC.. :) j/k

Try out the RC Smart ones this time, you already discovered the Tower ones are junky. :D

[aqwut]

yeah.. but the tower ones are cheaper..... I think the RCSmart and the Tower are the same thing...

Perhaps you could use the steeringboard to juice up the two amplifier boards on those escs..
