Hey everyone, newcomer to rc here.
Here's the situation. I would like to build a rc crawler crane. I have the mechanical parts pretty much figured out, but I have no experience when it comes to rc electronics.
Basically I would like to control six 12V DC worm gear motors. 4 of them would need to be controlled by the joystics of a transmitter (direction and speed control), the other two could be just direction controlled with paddles or buttons (forward/reverse).
As I understand, I would need a transmitter with 6 channels at the very least, a receiver, a battery, and one ESC for each motor, so 6 in total correct?
But what ESC's should I use? The motors seem different (two wires coming out) than those at rc shops (three wires coming out).
Any explanations or part recommendations would be very appreciated.
