Dual motor V tail mixing
How can I get a standard pistol radio to mix channels one and two to make a vehicle go forward when the throttle is applied, but turn when I steer with the wheel. This would simultaneously control both motors when throttle is applied, but independently when the wheel is turned.
I'm thinking put 1 battery connector to dual ESC's, so both run on one pack. And then throw the V tail on it...somehow.
Suggestions?

RE: Dual motor V tail mixing
Yes, thanks, its actually for an airboat. One of those megatech megagator ones. I need to control the thrust vector with a pistol remote.
Is there a robot guide that tells how to hook everything up? I want to run a single pack, but I need two ESC's for each motor.

Its very easy I can explain it rather then trying to search
You will have to make a custom plug, I will you deans as an example
You need 3 female plugs (the ones with the connectors sticking out on both sides)
Get your wire and solder the one plug to make a pigtail (plug with wire attached)
Then you have multiple ways to splice the other one in, you could attach it to the plug the same as the first if it will fit
if not splice it in to the middle of the wires, or what I would do is make a "Y" shape with the wires and then put your plugs on the ends and your set
The V-Tail mixer is easier
plug its inputs into your receiver and connect your esc at the other end
You may have to switch the spots around a couple of times to mate it turn in the rite direction and have the pistol control gas rather then steering but thats it.
