Anyone have comments? Thanks!
I had the same design question when I did my Leo and Black Eagle conversions.

The contacts can experience high current especially when motor stalls, like tracks bind up in grass or other sticks or rocks.

So I used an 18 circuit version and tied 4 circuits together just for the motors, I figured that would cover about 8 amps stall or if one of the contactors goes bad.
