I was hoping not to have to run a receiver battery but I just don't want to fry another esc.
Like others have said, you can wire both ESCs to the same channel on your receiver, but you have to disconnect the power (red) wire from one. If both are plugged in, you have a high chance of ruining your receiver with too much voltage or current (I can't remember which). Look in the manual of the ESC, I think it has a page on how to wire for multiple ESCs.
