Tamiya connectors work, but when I was racing RC, we moved away from them towards bullet connectors because they are less vulnerable to pulling out if you don't unclip them correctly. The bullets also have a bigger surface area, so in theory should offer better conductivity, and you can't melt them! To avoid misconnecting, each battery would have a male and a female connector, so they can only connect up one way. If you heatshrink them correctly, they are pretty good on the waterproof front too...
