Battery to ESC Connectors

[Paul C]

Guys

I've got some new lipos that need new connectors fitting as they come with the MT60's fitted.

The ESC that they will be used with is currently fitted with a Deans, however I've never used the Deans and also have a selection of alternatives.

So.............. If you were doing the same which of the following would you use ? also which of the selection below can handle the most current ?

Choices;

1) Stick with Deans
2) Change to Graupner G3.5mm http://www.parkaero.com/g35mm-gold-conn ... -185-p.asp
3) Change to E Flite Connectors http://www.parkaero.com/e-flite-ec3-bat ... -168-p.asp

Cheers
Paul

Anything that I can chuck at it, I dunno, 80ish I would say.

Should be plenty, what I don't like about Deans is trying to separate them, I put two loose connectors together earlier just in my hands and couldn't get them apart for love nor money without reaching for the tools

That can't be a good thing as no doubt the only way at the field will be to wrench on the wires

Blob of hot glue where the wires are soldered to the plug give additional grip area

Good idea.............. actually on the wires themselves or on the housing ?

There is a knack at disconnecting but that is why I like them, I know that they ain't coming undone to easy, like if the battery falls out or vibration.
