SCHEMATIC OF  INSTALLATION  IN TWIN-ENGINED MODEL

Type: Dual ESC and Mixer Module. Equivalent to two fully operational ESCs and a mixer, all in the same 

case. Will suit most types of DC 

motor used in model boats, including 7+ pole types.

brushed 

No of channels required: 

2

Motor voltage: 

6v to 24v 

Maximum continuous current rating: 

20A per ESC 

Modes: 4 different modes of operation, selectable by user via on-board 2-way DIL switches:

 

Mode 1: Dual electronic speed controllers - Each ESC works from a separate channel i.e. “Tank Steering”;
Mode 2: Dual thruster mode - Controls bow and stern thrusters. Skipper selects either Traverse (where 

thrusters work in the same direction and slew the model sideways) or Spin (where the 

thrusters work in opposite directions and spin the model on its own axis). Selection is done by 

“blipping” the rudder stick hard over and letting it go straight away. Both thrusters are also 

fully speed-controlled. 

Mode 3: 0% - 100% Mixer. As Mode 4, except that inboard motor can be made to spin at full speed in 

reverse sense on full rudder command i.e. you can spin the model on its axis.

Mode 4: 0% - 50% Mixer. Applies differential speed control to the motors automatically as a rudder 

command is give. Adjustable from 0%, where there is no mixing of rudder and throttle signals, 

up to 50%, where the inboard motor just stops at full rudder command.
