Default How to wire my sidewinder esc

i just got a castle creations sidewinder esc and was wondering the best way to wire it. im using two duratrax 1600 batteries for power and i'm putting the esc into a cliff climber. there is a red and black wire coming out of the esc. should i make a split for each wire and use one red for the front and one red for the back and same with the black wire? also the same for the motors. there is one black and one red what would be the best way to wire it to the motors. it's been years since i wired one of these things up so i need some help. the instructions show a single batter and single motor setup. thanks for any help.

Just run the motor and battery wires in parallel off the ESC into 2 wires (1 for the front motor/battery and 1 for the rear motor/battery) and vice versa for the black wire.
