If you're up for it, that'd be great. I really like the deans layout, that is very simple and intuitive and then you plug the main power in with the bullet connectors. I think that's the method I'm going for.

I assume there's no detriment to having that resistor plugged in all the time with the deans connector?

As much as I generally understand electric theory, sometimes sitting down and calculating it goes over my head. I just don't sit and pay enough attention, really. :)
