Good morning everyone,
I'm new here and new to the world of soldering/electronics. I have a background in computers, but never down to the sort of level I'm experiencing as I'm building my very first RC craft. I'm enjoying it immensely
I have hit a snag though. I'm trying to figure out how to wire all of my ESCs and motors to my 1 battery. I am using the following:
1 x 5000 mAh Turnigy LiPo
4 x 30 AMP Turnigy ESC Plush
4 x DT750 Hextronik Brushless motors
Lots x XT60 male and female connectors
I don't know much about parallel and series connections, but I found a picture online of how I think I'd like to wire my connectors:

This is my current layout:

Using the parallel connector image as a guide, do you see any issue with this setup? I'm not sure what AWG rating wire I have, so I'm a little concerned with heat and the possibility of melting the silicon coating.
[attachment=3666]
I apologise if I've been too vague or omitted any details. This is quite a learning curve, but it's slowly all starting to make sense. I'd appreciate any help or advice you can give me
