Simple Multi Motor Setup for Newbies
In this video I will go over a very simple way to set up electronics for a multi motor electric RC model airplanes. In short, a simple multi motor setup for newbies.
There are several way to set up a multi motor setup for an RC airplane using various combinations of electronic speed controls (ESC) and batteries. To keep things simple I will use a two motor application with an ESC and lipo battery for each motor. This is one trick where you must disconnect the battery eliminator circuit (BEC) from one of the ESC, and I will demonstrate how to easily do this.
I will also discuss the proper way to lengthen the battery wires. See video below for a more detailed discussion of this for brushless electric motors.
I am in the process of designing a foam board RC model airplane for two engines. This model will be the subject of a separate video.
