I think that with esc's connected the inertia of the motors will eliminate the 'notches'.

And here are the servos with tape on as suggested 👍
Any idea why the travel is so ‘notchy’ when operating them?

Thanks Roy, I did as you suggested and it works! When turning left (submerged) the right thruster seems to jump to full throttle for some reason, not sure why..

Hi yes, what you are dealing with is 2 esc's each set to supply the current used to run the receiver. Inevitably the voltage each esc is supplying is not the same and you only need one of them to do the job.
The best way to do it is to use an extension servo lead and cut the red lead in the wire. Plug one end of the extension lead into the receiver and the other end into either esc.
That way the esc's remain intact.

Thanks both, it’s worked with mixing servos, I’m just about to try it with brushless ESCs. Do I need to follow the ‘one power lead’ rule if plugging in to the mixer instead of the RX?

Yes, I had realised that it was mixing the esc signals so the description whilst helpful was not complete as the type of esc probably doesn't matter to it.
Unlike the one I have purchased for driving two small brushed motors directly from the mixer. To drive a small cat' model.

Hi ColinJ2, the mixer you have there from AliExpress is marked brushless. BUT it is not just brushless it will drive a brushed esc just as well.
The mixing is done before the esc is involved. It is possible the mixing has taken brushless operation into account.
Has anyone used one?

You cannot see the movement of the servos clearly in the video, by sticking some masking tape with a line across it on the servo arm will make it much clearer.

Thanks RoyCV and Chris - result! Here’s a video of the servos working as hoped, now to try the ESCs! Watch this space..
