Default Dig install with dual motor esc?

Hey guys, iv got an rc4wd dig unit on the way..
I was just looking at the wiring diagram and am a bit confused as to how I would set it up.. as iv got a dual motor esc?
It looks to me like the diagram has been drawn for a single motor ESC?
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to set this up?

Would I just double the wires up that run to the DIG? (i.e solder both red ESC wires together, solder both black ESC wires together - then connected those to the DIG?

Any help appreciated. Thanks guys

With the dx6i you would be a lot better off running two escs and mixing them on the radio. No need for a dig unit.

Don't know much about the ESC you are referring to, but does it have 2 set of Rx wire? If yes, you can run it off the your stick tx and mix them using the radio and no need the dig unit. Otherwise, I guess just use the esc with one set of motor output and use your new dig unit to control the 2 motors.

Thanks for the info mate, na it only got one set of RX wires.
I think iv found the answer. Looks like i just need to use one set of wires and un solder the other two.

could i run a punk dig on a outcry esc?

Unless you're looking to save weight, I would just tape the ends of one set of ESC output wires and be done with it. Use the other set of wires for the dig unit.
