* `2.8 with terminals Electrical Wire Connectors` is what they are called.
* This is what most controllers use.
* You will need a [crimper](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N1RFZZ4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
* [XT90s](https://amzn.to/3BKHLG8) connectors for the battery are recommended to avoid sparking when plugging the battery into the controller.
* Battery connectors
* [XT90s](https://amzn.to/3BKHLG8) connectors for the battery are recommended to avoid sparking when plugging the battery into the controller.
* Stick with the amass branded connectors.
* They are rated for 100a. If you have a battery rated for 300a continuous you can just use 3 connectors for example. They can peak at around 150a.
* They can use up to [10 gauge silicone wire](https://amzn.to/3vbVEfs). Any larger than that is a waste and hard to solder.
* When soldering keep the opposite end plugged in so the pins don't shift within the plastic.
* [A cool panel mount](https://www.printables.com/model/148826-xt90-round-panel-mount)
* [Bullet connectors](https://www.amazon.com/Generic-5-5mm-Gold-Bullet-Connector/dp/B01MRXLVRD/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=5.5mm+bullet+connector&qid=1645583504&sprefix=5.5mm+bull%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-4) for the motor phase wires.
* Phase wire connectors
* [Bullet connectors](https://www.amazon.com/Generic-5-5mm-Gold-Bullet-Connector/dp/B01MRXLVRD/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=5.5mm+bullet+connector&qid=1645583504&sprefix=5.5mm+bull%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-4) for the motor phase wires.
* See the image below for amp ratings. I use 5.5mm bullets for everything because they do about 100 amps. If I need more amps I just do 1 connector per phase per 100 amps. I just match them up with the same number of [XT90s](https://amzn.to/3BKHLG8) connectors I use.

* Depending on the controller you get you'll want to replace the phase wires to use bullet connectors so that you don't have to use one of these shit boxes:
* Depending on the controller you get you'll want to [replace the phase and battery connectors](https://youtu.be/-93KGl7BvLY) with better connectors like the ones above so that you don't have to use one of these shit boxes:
* ![shit boxes](./images/shitBox.jpeg)
* The shit boxes are nothing but problems because the plastic melts easily when the nuts come loose. I have seen this many times and it usually doesn't end well and can take your controller down with it.
* If your controller has built-in phase wire mounts(like the one below) you should be fine to just go with what's built-in.

* If your controller has built-in phase wire mounts(like the one below) you should be fine to just go with what's built-in. It may be a good idea to make sure the screw terminals don't come loose.
