What is the best way to join power cables?

I want to join two BotBitz 85AMP ESCs to another cable. Is it strong enough to solder the three cables together only? Do I need to twist them together first?

Twisting wires together before soldering doesn't really make the joint any stronger, it just makes it easier to hold everything in place. Its not a bad technique but with larger wires, it makes a bulky joint so I try to use 'third hand' clamps, zip ties or heatshrink tube to position wires together for soldering.
