What battery connectors do you use?

Been useing Deans since I fused my Tamiya one's togther on my RC-10 using a 6cell to a Novak 410-m5 hard wired to a 12turn quad motor.

I have heard that the resistance value of the knock off deans is much higher then that of the true deans plug... I havent taken a resistance reading myself, because I only buy real Deans, this is just something I heard.

I 2nd soldering them together (male/female plugged in) the other one will act as a heat sink and your less likely to melt the prongs in the connector...been there done that. Plugging them in together helps make it much easier.

Deans all the way.

anybody else want to contribute?

I use Deans mostly, with a few Tamiya's thrown in there.

I definitely see some room for improvement with the Deans, but they're pretty much the standard, so thats what I go with.

Sermos for battery.....Deans for motor connections.

hmmm... burned myself on my tamiyas over the weekend... maybe I need to upgrade

Sermo's all the way. I love how they universally connect. I can make a 12 cell pack in just seconds by cliping connectors together. I also like how the terminals are tucked away.

The only down fall I have found is that on a hard crash the connectors can be jarred loose. When I used to race if I came up to short on a jump it usually means I lost the race.:lol: Little Electrical tape or zip tie fixed the issue.

Deans are the thing on my HPI Micro RS4's... "thumbsup" I kept the tamiya loose plug for possible use later on down the road.

Chances are deans will find a comfy home in my crawler...lol.
