Default Dual esc wiring ? (If you dont do it like Harley's diagram)

So I have a buddy who is running dual mamba micro's and a spektrum micro receiver. It is wired with a bec powering ONLY the servo. The signal wire is going to Ch1 on his receiver and both mm are plugged into ch2 and ch3 respectively. So I wanted to know if you put BOTH esc signal lead wires going to the receiver where both red wires are hot and feeding the receiver is that going to cause any problems? In other words should you cut one of the power leads going to the receiver and have only one of the mm's powering the reciever?

I would think it would be OK since its still + to + and - to -. Its not over powering the receiver voltage wise. But cant say for sure 100%, sorry.

I pull the red from one ESC, I figure if the internal BEC and an external one can fight each other and cause issue's there's a chance two internal's could too.

Ya thats kind of what I was thinking and why I decided to ask here. I did find a wiring diagram Harley did for the supers and it shows both escs power wires plugged into the receiver here:
