Power Distribution Question!

Hi Guys,

I am a new RC flyer just getting slowly sucked into the multi-rotor world! (So far loving it). Currently live in Kent, UK.

My first build is a Y6 which I have built using various sites and blogs (unmanned tech, HK, eBay, RCexplorer etc)

My list of important items,

1 x Hobbyking KK2.1 Multi-rotor LCD Flight Control Board
6 x DT750/28155 hexTronik DT750 Brushless
6 x Hobby King 20A ESC
2 x Turnigy 2200mAh 3S 25C Lipo Pack
1 x FrSky TARANIS 2.4GHz Transmitter

Using 16awg wire all round.

My question is concerning the power distribution. Can someone confirm my max potential AMP’s please? Is it 120? Or 20 split between 6? I am unsure. I have seen various distribution boards / harnesses out there ranging from 15A up to 400A!

I have also been told I could get away with a 30A electrical connector block and stuff my 16AWG cable in but also to knock up a small copper plate (insulated in the middle) and solder on each side.

Any advice is greatly appreciated! Progress below :)

Thanks
