The larger the plugs the greater the surface area, the less the resistance.
Here is something that I always do with my stock class boats.
NO plugs, use solid 1/4" Dia. Copper rod. 3 pieces about 3/4" long.
Measure your wire Dia. on your ESC, Then measure your wire Dia. on your motor.
Now select your two drill bits for the different size wire so that the tined wire just slide in nicely.
Take the smaller drill bit of the two, and drill a hole all the way through the 3 Copper slugs.
Now take the larger drill that you selected for the larger wire, and drill a enlarged hole 3/8" deep or half way through the slug.
After you solder one of the wires in the slug, put a piece of 1 1/4" heat shrink on the wire that will be the farthest away from the slug,
so that when you heat it up to insert the last wire, you don't shrink the heat shrink.
Fill the slug up with good solder from both ends. then slide the heat shrink to cover the slug and shrink it up.
If you have done it right, You will never get a hot connection again when running your boat.
