    On the ZTW 300A ESC, the short lead is the programming cable, and the long lead goes to the receiver. When you run two ESC's, you plug the long lead from each ESC into a Y-harness and then plug the Y harness into the throttle channel on the receiver. When setting up ESC for the first time, you need to perform a throttle calibration. While doing this, plug one ESC directly into the receiver at a time, and set it up as if you only had a single motor and ESC setup.

    You do not need to have a power switch between your 6V receiver battery and the receiver, but they are handy depending on where everything gets installed. The battery, or power lead on a switch, plugs into any open port on the receiver to provide power, but I typically use the bind port for consistency.
