Powering receiver and APM board

Im a bit confused as to how to wire everything up. Ive found the ardupirates diagrams to be most helpful but i still have some doubts. So the way i see it, each motor connects to its own ESC. From there, the black/red wires go to the batteries and the servo cable from each ESC is connected to the desired output on the APM board. The respective Inputs are then connected to the correct channels on the RX module. What i dont fully understand, is how to power the APM board and the RX module. I can see there are two holes on the APM labeled Vin where i could solder some leads to power it through there but im not sure if i should just connect this in parallel with everything else, sounds wrong. Also where is the RX module getting power from?All help greatly appreciatedAlan
