SpeedyBee F405 V4 flight controller has 8 motor outputs. So you can use this flight controller to build X8 or Y6 drones. You could achieve this by using two 4-in-1 ESCs. For an X8 model, you use all motor outputs of the two 4-in-1 ESCs. While for a Y6 model, you could use 4 motor outputs from one 4-in-1 ESC and 2 motor outputs from another 4-in-1 ESC.
For the wire connection, please refer to the following diagram:
The two 4-in-1 ESCs can be connected in parallel to a single XT60/XT90 connector, then you could use one LiPo battery(6S max) to power the two ESCs. Don't forget to add a low ESR capacitor to the BAT+ and BAT- pads for each ESC.

Can i also can build a X6 Copter? I tried this, but i could get to rotate motor no.6
all other 5 will spin!
Maybe get help?
Can I also do that with a separate ESC with 8S from Foxeer for example?
I see the first ESC is connected with the regular cable which includes the Current wire.
But for the second ESC only the 4 signal wires and G is connected.
How do you then get current reading from the second ESC if the Current wire is not used?
Hi friend, I think this is what you're referring to? We at Canarias-Stock were able to get this done correctly, and it's currently working perfectly. Using two ESCs and a controller.
