Dave, my last sentence referred to my plan to use just one slightly higher voltage battery, 10.8v, by using a 'Y' lead from the battery connector to the two
Connectors on the two Esc's ( brushless).
I will deal with the bec connection as suggested.

Is the bec wire that needs disconnecting, the red wire from the esc in between the orange and black.
Thanks
Nord.

The colour code on MTroniks plugs is Brown=Negative; Orange=Positive; Yellow=Signal. You can disable the BEC by disconnecting the Orange wire from the plug.

Anything produced in the last 20 years that plugs into a radio, it is the middle wire on the plug that needs to be disconnected, whatever colour scheme the manufacturers used.  But leave one on, the radio and servos get their power that way. 
The middle recepacle can be winkled out by releasing its locking tab and pulling, then tape it back in a tidy manner.  That way, should the need arise, it can be easily refitted for re-use.

Actually I bought a cable extension for the esc and just removed the bec connection on this leaving the cable from Esc itself untouched.
Quite pleased with this solution albeit with the same end result.
