So. I'm divulging some of my bot's secrets here, but I'm getting frustrated... Right now I have 2 speed-400 motors being powered by 1 speedmax-40 ESC. The little motors are drawing enough current to trip the overcurrent protector in the speedmax-40's. I need to figure out if I can wire in one more speed controller so that they don't freeze. Can I wire this so that I have 2 speed controllers with 3 motors?
The motors have a max draw of over 20 A and I have 2 per SC, 6 total. I was planning having 10 motors (hah. what an idea...) so I have 2 extras. Total current is over 120 A so if I have 4 SC's, it will bring the A per SC down to 30+ instead of 40+
Can I just combine the outputs of the pairs of SM40s then split that into 3?
Let's just say I'm more into the mechanics and design of it all... I didn't wire the bots last year
