    Typhoon 2 used a 1000A military grade connector that retails around the £1000 mark (probably more with inflation and brexit in the decade and a bit since). But failing something like that, your other options should handle more than enough current. If you are drawing 600A in any continuous fashion then I would expect either your fuses to pop on the lipo or your wiring to melt.

    Just a bit out of our price range then... Probably going to use a bunch of XT90 then, or make our own ones that can handle it.

    We will be using 8awg for the connection between esc and the batteries.

    The ratings on our batteries are rather silly. They are 5.4Ah 12S LiHV rated at 65-135C (350-730A). We have 2S2P for them so theoretically could sustain 700A continuous and 1460A burst at 52.2V. So the theoretical peak power is 76.2kW (102HP) lol.

    Obviously those numbers are crazy and we will probably be closer to 300A for all motors.
