So been working on the wiring for Kaizen this evening, a basic, not quite finished, wiring loom eventually emerged after a heated exchange with the XT90 connectors not keeping the wires in the cups after being soldered. Eventually, managed to get them soldered in and almost ready to test wire to the batteries and motors.
I also drilled and bolted the motors to the polycarbonate base with oh-so-meaty M8 bolts. It is very rare I get the big, big screwdriver out to screw stuff in. It is likely that I'll go down the Pulsar/Magnetar route and bolt everything down rather than weld (though I'll likely need the weapon welding up in some measure - the design has changed a fair bit since the original drawing at the beginning of this thread).
Two pictures of the bolted in motors and the ESC wiring (lens flare is free)
