Hi all, Is it possible to run 2 motors from 1 speed controller ? If so can someone show me a wiring diagram ? Thanks fo all replies.

Need to make sure esc can handle both motors

this way is better though

The top diagram will have the motors turning the same way.
It is usual in a twin/multi screw set up to have the motors turning opposite.
Just change 1 set of connections to 1 of the motors.

As long as they are handed

Make sure the ESC can handle the current from two motors. 380 size motors can pull a fair amount of current if they're taxed.
