What do you suggest? Can I just chop those “Tamiya” connectors off and solder new style connectors on and solve that problem?
I use Deans, when I need connectors. The asian companies call them "T-Connectors." But the Quadcopter people use XT60 and XT30. they're good choices too. A lot of your gear will have XT60 connectors on them too.

I have paint pens. I paint the positive side of my batteries, top and bottom, with red paint. I also put red shrink tube on the positive connection of my ESC. It's hard to screw it up when you have the colors screaming at you like that. Short versus long isn't good enough for me ;-)
