        If there brushed then you could buy a 75amp pull switch and hook a servo to the switch

          If the motors are brushed then a single brushed ESC can run two, three or four brushed motors together assuming the amp rating is not exceeded. You would have to decide if you wanted to run the motors in series or parallel configuration.

          I an not aware of an ESC designed to run multiple BL motors but then I haven’t looked either. Some folks have had success running two BL motors from a single regular BL ESC, but many have not. ESC makers do not recommend it. As far as three BL motors is concerned, you would surely fail.

            guess building some sort of gearbox to run 3 props off one bigger motor would make more sense. The bproblem is one of the props is reverse rotation so it gets a little more complicated.
