Hello there I was just wondering if someone could explain to me how I do this? Run two motors two lipos with two esc on one channel

[essex2visuvesi]

easy answer is a Y lead from the receiver to the 2 speed controllers
If the ESCs have BEC circuts then you will need to cut the (normally) red wire from the esc to the RX on one of the ESCs (personally I would do this on the Y lead and not the lead from the ESC)

if you want mixing (control of the 2 motors when steering) then you will need a mixer

* Other mixing devices are available

a "Y" lead is the easiest answer , but rather than cut the red wire ive found it better to remove it from the plug & tape it back to the side of the other cables , at least its availble should you need it for another model in the future . my own preference is to runn with a seperate rx pack .

Thats why I said cut the Y lead.... they are 10 a penny on the dreaded bay.  but yes if you can get the pin out its an even better option
