It is good to focus on connectors. I run Deans without issues, But, I am pushing them beyond what I really trust them for.

One thing to consider too is minimizing wire length. You are much more knowledgeable in electronics than I. But, I have seen huge voltage losses in my wiring. Make EVERY effort to shorten the wires from cells to ESC and ESC to motor as much as possible. It may seem like "Ya, ya, ya, I know that......" But, it is easy to overlook when dealing with the more involved aspects of the project.

I strive for NO wire heat after a run. Heck, if you are running an Eagle Tree, I would suggest running a temp probe on the main power wire to the ESC at the center point to read wire temp.

Just a thought.
