Cool Need help with dual ESC, dual servo, bec wiring

Hi, I have been read other threads about wiring but I'm still confused. I'm going to run dual ESCs, 4 wheel steering, front and rear steer independently, and a bec. Can someone help me out with how to wire all this up. I just don't want to fry anything. A diagram would be great along with a walk through be extra helpful.
Thanks

What Tx/Rx are you using? What ESCs? What BEC?

As for the wiring....run the motor leads from each ESC to their respective motor, connect both power leads and BEC input leads to your battery, then plug everything into your Rx. It is sometimes helpful to have an easy way to disconnect the ESC from the power source, so I'll put a banana plug in line with the negative lead.

I'm using a gt3c hacked with 6ch rx. Two CC mamba micro pros. Two hobby king servos. A CC 10 amp BEC. I just want to make sure I get it right the first time. I can't afford to mess up. And I have seen so many different ways to wire everything so it gets confusing to which is the best way to do it.

Wire both ESC's and the BEC's power wires to the battery plug. Run each ESC's motor wires to their respective motor. Run the BEC output to the front servo directly (black and red only, ditch the BEC signal wire and send the signal from the servo directly to the RX). Pull one of the ESC's red wire so their internal BEC's dont compete with one another while powering the RX and rear servo.

Plug all of the stuff into the proper channel (radio dependent).

Just take your time and think about what you are doing and you will be fine, its not all that complicated.
