A separate dedicated ground is one that you run a ground lead for some special thing such as the battery, a gage set, etc. The terminal strip I used was just for some relays and such and I ran separate leads to most of them except a few that really didn't need a dedicated ground. My belief is that in these plastic cars, you can't have to many good grounds. I have even ran two separate ground straps from different places to the same place as once the body was on it would be very hard to get to.
