BUS Module Connectors

I was wondering what would you guys recommend for track BUS connectors that I'm building between modules? I'm using 14 gauge wire for the BUS. Thanks!

Powerpoles are definitely the way to go! They're simply crimped on, or I've even seen where some prefer to solder them. To crimp them you'll need a special crimper to make the crimp properly so that the terminal will fit in the housing. You can get 100 complete connector pairs from WestMountainRadio for $79.

I use Powerpoles on all my FreemoN modules. Like everyone said, they are definitely the way to go.
