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 ;-)
i paint the + terminal red and use red shrink tube as well.. yet still managed when I was in a rush to make a heat. So now I make one wire shorter. Also new batteries have terminals that go through to other side which makes it easier to have +/- where you want it by flipping it over
