Hi all... I hope someone could help with a small enquiry..
I have a project which would require running 5 ESC's at the same speed...
Is it ok to hard-wire one 3ch servo tester to drive 5 ESC's for the purpose of short term testing????
If not, what are my options????
Thanking you in advance of any information..

If they have internal BEC's, remove the red wire from the plug that is going into the servo tester on all but 1 of the ESC's. Hooking all of the red wires up together with a BEC on each one can damage an ESC.
Other than that, there is no issue running 5 ESC's in parallel.
