    OK time for me to show my naivety and show you how I think I should wire this little beast up.

    So the components:
    Turnigy brushed 30A ESC for weapon - motor has 2.19A stall
    Sabretooth RC 2x12A ESC for drives - each motor has 4.9A stall
    12V LED for power on indicator which draws a few milliamps

    My goal is to add fuses to protect the equipment.
    I was thinking I should limit the max load on the inbound of the ESC, which would protect the motors too. So based on the information above a 10A fuse should suffice for drives, and smallest I have is a 5A for the weapon see below.

    [edit: sketch shows two 5A fuses]
    Or is this the wrong way of going about it? And I should place a larger say 25A fuse on the inbound of each and add individual fuses to motors. This would cost me 40g more as I am using blade fuses and covered fuse holders.
