As for wiring to esc just get all the red wires from the motors and join them to the red wire on the esc then do the same with the black ones.

Cool, thanks. I got the wiring to the esc part, but as far as the battery things: so i could run two of those 6v gear motors that rcp said off of a 11.1 volt battery?
And the wire for wiring the motor to the esc is just regular copper wire (maybe stereo wire) from the hardware store? Does it have to be a specific gauge?
Thanks guys.
