Looks right to me ?

I would not be happy with the choc block you need some sort of insulation under it as any stray wires could short to the chassis. Also a larger choc bloc might be better as you are daisy chaining the power from one to another. It would be nice to have a separate wire to each from the main. Just my two cents worth. ..Clive

At first glance I thought that, but he's using such excessively thick wire that it's probably not a big deal.

It's wire I had left over from making Y leads for my large electric RC Helis, I though it would be good to use as I could strip sections of outer off, push it over the pin and then flood with solder. Then cover the soldered bit with hot glue to insulate....

I tinned the wires (and soldered them together) daisy chaining the power in the choc block which is 15A rated so I thought was big enough? I'll put some form of insulation under it if you think it's needed? How would you do a seperate wire to each from the main?
