lol, I hate extra wires too. That's why I modify the throttle cable on my MMs. I remove the red and black wires from the ESC PCB, then solder a red and black wire to the power input points on the ESC. I bundle those three wires to the bec. The red and black feed the input of the BEC. Since the output of the BEC typically has a servo plug, I just insert the throttle wire into the empty slot. When done, you have the ESC, three wires going to the BEC, three wires out of the BEC to the Rx with the UBEC in the middle somewhere.
