Default 2 ESC on different channels / single Battery Q

I've read somewhere here that someone used two ESC connected to different channels with a single battery on a clod to have a separate control of the axles throttle.
Can someone explain me something about the wiring?
I assume I need an "y" harness to connect the single pack to the two ESC.
Each ESC is connected to each motor.

What about the wiring on the rx? Considering that I use the BEC I think I can't connect TWO complete plug the the RX to avoid to burn it, so wich cable should I remove from one of the ESC plug?

Thanks

well you are right on the y part... just split the positive and negative between the esc's And to avoid burning up stuff i would suggest to take out both the positive and negative leads from the esc's to the reciever so all you have is the signal wire going to the reciever for both ecs. THen just plug ur RX pack into the battery terminal on ur reciever. OR make one of these!! HOW to make a 6 volt voltage regulator!

Thaks man.
So if I don't wanna use a battery pack I could have one ESC normally connected with all 3 wires to the RX that will give the power the the RX itself and to the servos, and the other only with the signal wire connected. Correct?
