is there any advantage to have 2 escs compare to 1 with Dig for example?

[JonehRC]

as the title mentioned above, is there any advantage using 2 escs of the same brand/version of coz compare to 1 esc but with dig on MOA?

Im using 4PK.. thinking of getting 2 esc but still curious on whats the benefit.

Pls anyone to clarify this. thanks in advance. :mrgreen:

The difference would be in the ability to dial down one motor or the other. With a dig switch, the motor is either at 100% or 0%. With dual ESCs, you can set either to whatever percentage that you want! "thumbsup"

thanks.
ic. thats interesting. with that difference of motor speed.. when is suitable for example to climb a new vertical hill ... to use more speed at the front or at the back? like 70:30 front/rear or 30:70 f/r ??

2nd, i probably have missed, can the 2 esc be programmed on a switch to have the full 0% on either the front or rear .. in other words, like a dig?? or need to keep pressing the button on a step of 10 example to go upward or downward on the %??

I read n followed the Harley's 4PK instruction but there's no like from the full 100% to dead 0% button to do it. I probably missed it. Pls guide me.

thanks in advance for the 2 questions im still confused

Well, as for your first question, yes, I have found that the ability to program the ESCs differently is useful in many situations. However, you will need to play with the setup to determine the specifics of each situation.....it is hard to describe in which situations this will be helpful.

Second, I have not personally used the 4PK, but I use the Nomadio React and yes, I do have different buttons for full dig (push button, 0%) as opposed to the buttons that tune the bias on the ESC. So, I have 4 bottons that I use (2 for each motor dig and 2 for each motor bias).

thanks JeremyH

well thats the thing... when to use it with the different in motor speed. for a start, for example, with front is rolling faster than the rear, it will help climb the wall without turning turtle.. something like that i prefer to hear

hahaha. oh well, i guess i just have to try it. this gonna take a lot of time for sure coz i have totally no idea where to start.

thanks for helping on the 2nd one too. Yep... i think i have to assigned "something" on another button... wish Harley can help me here on the 4pk.

thanks once again JeremyH "thumbsup"

Well, there are situations that you will encounter that will require a little bit of rear motor speed....but not have the motor completely cutoff. A specific example that I can think of is when I would climb this very steep rock face......if the rear is spinning at the same speed as the front, then it will flip the truck over. However, if the front is spinning faster than the rear, then it will help pull the truck. This can sometimes be accomplished without the use of dual ESCs by only relying on the rear motor stall, but you dont have the ability to dial that in like you do with dual ESCs.
