              i cant see how either would work, but it is midnight here so not really awake
              dont think you can wire escs togethor like that

                        i have had a big day and fairly buggered so not thinking the straightest but looking at the diagrams it looks like your trying to parallel threw the escs. i cant see this working, you could run one battry to two speedies but then you need a battry that can handle the amp draw of both escs/motors

                            I plan on running my twin setup all separate accept for the radio the 2 esc's will be pigtailed into 1 rx
                            The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

                              Figure 2 won't work. Incomplete electrical circuit. I don't think fig. 3 would work.

                                Electrically fig 2 is an open circuit, won't even power... fig 3 is a series that will give you the same thing as individual batteries wired direct to esc's. It will work, but if the ESC's are not perfectly balanced (this includes the motors/props), the voltage drop could cause your motors to run at different rpms, which you do not really want...
                                If you really want to do some wiring (although I do not see the point) you could put the batteries in series with ESC's in parallel or put everything in parallel.
