I’m sure xt90 are cheaper at bangood

On Ali actually. I will post the link I use https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5-pairs-Anti-Spark-Connector-Plug-Male-Female-XT90-S-Upgrading-from-XT90-for-RC-Quadcopter/32570595916.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dACEmGH This are 5 pairs. You only need one, but in case buy two to be sure.

Does your lipos come with 5.5 bullets on them? I haven’t seen a lipo that has them on

you can use whatever connector you want to the vesc, but you have xt60 so why do not use them. The 5.5 bullet connectors are for the vesc to motor. I really advice you to make a detail drawing of all your set up and post it. So we can check it. Otherwise I ma afraid you are going to connect something wrong. Make a schematic diagram showing batteries, vesc, loppkey, motor with all the connectors and mark the different polarities with plus (red) and negative (black). So we can check.

they come with xt60

Stick with xt60s. 5.5 bullets are for the vesc to the motor.

Did you add the the XT90 antisparks?

i added those https://hobbyking.com/en_us/xt90-s-anti-spark-connector-2pairs-bag.html

Perfect. What are you going to use as enclosure and to mount it to the board? I will also suggest to buy some storng velcro to fix electronics and battery to the deck, so the weight doesn’t affect your enclosure integrity

As an enclosure i am going to use lunch box (with solid closing) and of course i’ll use velcro so that parts won’t move in box
