Default Turboreg on dual RX

It's late at night and the more I think about the plane I am working on and the new equipment I am installing, the more confused I get.. little help please anyone?

40% plane with dual spektrum RXs. The plane is split down the middle, one side on each RX. I bought the plane like this and want to keep it that way. I have 2 Fromeco 5200s going into 2 switches going to the Turboreg. Then each output from the reg has 3 heavy duty "JR" leads going into open ports in each RX. So I have 3 connectors into each RX.. total of 6 power connectors. I figured why not add more than enough.

I have never seen a plane with a turbo reg setup in this way. Should I have anything to worry about with this setup? One thing I did notice that I had not expected was that the reg will power either RX off of either battery. If I turn off one of my 2 switches, I still have both RXs powered. I thought the Turboreg isolated the batteries?!?

If I understand correctly, it seems I may be losing the true redundancy of a 2 RX setup. If one of my batteries shorted out, could it now affect the other RX since they seem to be tied together with the Turboreg?
