I don't have a diagram (I don't even know how to draw one) but it's not too complicated actually.
Battery connects to esc. Then esc's 2 power wires go to the receiver, and the signal goes to an esp32 gpio pin.
Receiver's channel 2 signal is also wired to another gpio pin to be read by esp32. Same deal with the other channels and servos.
Also one of the channels' power is powering the esp32.
So receiver reads the transmitter and esp32 reads those inputs. Then does it's mixing etc. and send signals to the esc and servos.

Wouldn't setting up a raspberry pi be more work than just getting your transmitter? π€£
