12020 questions

[BrianG]

I got my 12020 ESC the other day and was wondering something. It came with a single set of power wires (red and black), but has dual sets of motor wires for each of the three phases. After thinking about it, why would it be set up this way? Both the power and motor wires use the same guage wire. You'd think if anything, they'd double up on the power wires and use single motor wires since each motor wire will be pulling a fraction of the power at any one time, while the power wire will be pulling the full current. Or use larger guage wire on the power side...

Something else; not that I will be doing this, but can each set of motor wires be used to power a separate BL motor (two total)? Of course, I'd have to make sure the motors wouldn't pull more current than the ESC could handle, but is it possible? For best effect, both motors should probably be the same ratings. The ESC circuitry would measure the current pulses of both motors added together.

Anyway, just curious.
