I usually use 14awg wire. As for connectors, I solder the motor wires straight to the motor, if your using lipo's you only really have one choice for the battery connectors from the esc, banana/bullet connectors. If your using standard cells then I use deans connectors, they are user friendly and reliable. Hope this helps?
