Simon, why not use copper tubing to lower the resistance instead of the brass tube? Brass is not exactly an efficient conduit... just wondering.

Brass is actually pretty crap for conductivity.
Might as well wire in a set of deans
for any adapters like that I use 8ga OFC power cable.Comment

Interesting lines of thought here on the 2P connectors.
The whole setup will be fine on a single pack as 1P
I have chosen to try 2P for a bit more run time but if the ESC is not keen then I will happily run 1P and have the other pack as ballast.
On that note I am a little anxious about the weight of this hull and all the power in there. I will give it a run next week ( I hope ) and see how it goes.
This one is to go fast by eye and look nice on the water.
Matt, the Deans are an option but not yet.See it....find the photos.....sketch it it....build it........with woodComment

You're right, and I know it's patina, still it means resistance, and I wouldn't like cleaning my contacts all the time. I like the ketchup idea tough.Never heard of it before.
There are numerous cheap gold plated contacts on the net, with various shapes and sizes. You choose.Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.

with the OFC copper I haven't had any visual oxidation yet as I leave the insulation on and heatshrink everything
Simon, I was joking about the deans, deans are fail.Comment
