There should be instructions included with your ESC.
Typically if you are using an electric motor, the ESChas a BEC that provides power to the receiver and servos. You don't need a separate receiver battery. The instructions for your electronic speed control should provide instructions on how to hook things together. This link may also prove helpful. Go to the chapter on the ESC, electronic speed control.

Basically the motor connects to the ESCvia 2 or 3 wires. The ESC connects to the receiver in the throttle channel, according to your radio's instructions. The battery connects to the ESC, providing electricity to the system.
