Default 2 BL motors, 1 esc?

Just as the post asks, can I power 2 brushless motors off say, a mamba max esc or do I need a seperate esc for each motor-in the process of building a crawler and would like it to be brushless-but dont want the expense of two esc's thanx for everyone who helps

If you align the rotors perfectly and lock the shafts together with a collet it could be done, but then you might as well buy a bigger motor. If you want a clod setup you need a separate ESC for each brushless motor, but if you want to save some money there is nothing wrong with two 55t's on a Mamba Max and 3s lipo.

That I am aware of, you can't run 2 BL motors of 1 ESC.
