Default Twin EDF Hookup Question!

Hi Everyone,

I am putting together the Executive Jet at the moment.

Without starting a debate! (I have read every forum I could find on this topic), what is the best option regarding the BEC's.

1. Is it ok to have them both providing power to the receiver, or should I remove one of the red wires from one of the ESC connectors?

2. What gauge wire should I use between the ESC and the Batteries (I will connect them in Parrallel so I only have 2 wires from the ESC to Batteries). I.e I will make a harness so I can connect two deans connectors to the two wires, then at the other end, create another harness that the two ESC's can plug into completing the parrallel setup. See Pic. Deans connectors.

The ESC's will be located at the rear of the aircraft between the engines (near the cooling exit), and the batteries up the front (around 10" away) at the battery hatch.

The setup is:
ESC: 2 x Mystery 30A
Motor: 2 x Mystery 4000 Kv
Batt: 2 x Force 11.1V 3S 2200mah 20C

Some photos attached - I am painting it like a lear I used to fly.

Thankyou!
