Looks good, that's all that needed to be done in the first place. Very simple concept made out to hard and confusing. However, i would also be soldering direct from ESC wires, elimanating one plug
Now the next big question. Why XT90 connectors? with this much voltage, and no doubt high amps, I would be running QS8 or QS10 anti spark connectors with 8awg wire minimum. That's alot of volts, the anti spark in any ESC (if yours even has it) won't be able to cope. You'll weld your connectors together, get a nice big shock, and fry the capacitors

This is the kit, im not sure why xt90 never thought about it. Theres a guy next door who smokes brown i pay him £10 to plug in stuff im unsure of anyways and this is already on the cards for him 😂
i have read there good upto 1000v

watts = current * voltage
So to find out how much power your motor is pulling you measure current and voltage then multiply them to find watts.

i think your missing the point here im after some sort of wiring diagram to make a loom or a premade loom to connect them in series your post is totally irrelevant as i fully understand how to make the series connection its then taking the series connection accross four packs and still being able to disconnect and charge as a 4S
im in no way an expert i understand the basics iv had my fair share of lipo fires to know what to do tbh i have drawn a diagram i was hoping to post it but it dosnt let me post photos or links still on the forum. Tbh i was hoping for away to do it without even making a loom and buying premade gear i came here for some reassurance
