I have seen people use standard clips, but Robot Market Place looks like they still have the connectors in stock:
http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-EVCABLE.html Most people were using (2) 12V 18AH batteries to power them. The fuses you would need on them would really depend on the speed controller you use. Personally I have blown 30A fuses with my scooter motors. I think I'm using a 50A fuse with a 60A controller. Stall current would be if you decided to do something like...running your tank into a wall and keep pushing the motors full throttle. At that point they would stall and be pulling upwards of 100A. At 50A my fuses would blow and protect my motors and my controllers.
