      you can set it up this way:

      run the receiver and rudder servo on its own battery pack.
      remove the red wire from the plug that plugs into the receiver from the Y harness.

      go into the programming of the esc's and set the voltage cut off to the no cut off selection. (watch the voltage drop. do not let the batteries go too far down)

      that should get it going.

          Use a pin or tiny screwdriver to push the tab and slide to power pin out of one and heatshrink or tape it back on itself. If you want to go back to a stock setup for a single esc you just have to slide the pin back into the connector.
          If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?
