I always use the thickest silicon covered wire that
will fit the connectors.

It is very flexible and easy to use.

If you put your motor type, ESC and battery
up someone will have the answer.

Just remeber to DISSCONNECT one red wire on the ESC wires otherwise you will cook the esc just use a small screwdriver to get the pin out of the plug and simply tape it up....reasopn for this is simple,each esc supplies a 6v power to the reciever

If you are going to steer it on the motors then a y lead wont be needed.
Just plug your Rx leads into the channels for the two up and down sticks
(having disconnected one red from esc}

Adding a Y lead would do the job especially as y9ou are using a rudder....PERSONALLY I wouldnt use that make of esc's at all but I WOULD use a ACTion P94 combined ESC/Mixer ...
 
WHY...................No Need to use a rudder
.........................You can turn the boat round on it's axis
.........................Defo more reliable then the ESC's you are using.
 
 
WHY do I say this ...........well it's simple really ......Having Built  and repaired more bait boats than I care to rember where reliability is needed there is only one compny's product I would use......just rebuilt a bait Boat last week that had cost the owner in excess of £500 and it was a so called British built boat that was full of inferior electronics.........filled it with ACTion stuff and now I got a further 3 to do
