That's an interesting idea. It would be cool if it could be implemented for you to test out and see if there is a good practical benefit.

Such an arrangement may be possible without utilizing a true brushless electronic speed control. While it would be neat to integrate one into this system, it would probably raise costs a non insignificant amount, add a considerable point a failure, and there probably wouldn't be a large benefit. Hobbyists do indeed use ESC's in model aircraft that can support these kinds of loads, but they're generally well cooled and not exposed to inclement weather among other technical difficulties. Would be an interesting idea for a test model just to see what it does.
