If you're talking about the battery to reciever wires there's only two. There's a third slot in the reciever where the battery plugs in, but it's not used.

on the reciever you should have ch1, ch2 and batt, the 2 ch are for the esc and the steering servo, the battery (one on the bottom) is for a nitro car.

the battery you use for the car powers the servo and esc so you dont need another external power source, its called bec circuitry
