Like this.

P.S. If you plan on running a second servo for rear steer, You'll need a different ESC or a Novak Nitro Regulator for the XRS. Good Luck

The bec on the XRS doesnt put out enough juice for two servos doing crawling duty. If it is workin for you then keep at it, but when your servos seem weak or slow it is the ESC's fault.

The XRS BEC isn't high enough to handle 4WS. It's onlt rated at 1.5 amps.

(Edit) Looks like JRH beat me to it!

If you don't want to have to go out and purchase a new ESC you can get the Novak Servo Regulator and have enough juice to power both the servos.
Or, if you do get a new ESC get something like the Tekin Rebel 2 (or a Novak Super Rooster, if you can find one.). They have enough voltage and amps inside to power dual servos.

or you can make your own regulators for your servos from radio shack parts for about $10 and keep your esc.
