Have just got some Turnigy 6 cell packs with big 8awg wires and whats the best connectors to use? have used Deans in the past and are these still the one to use?..also got some off AMain..there inhouse branded protec XT60 ones but they only have 3.5 mm bullets and would these be o.k as they are a nice looking connector but do look small..any help appreciated.
Thanks.

I use Losi EC5 connectors (5mm bullet style)

Hobby City sells the same style 4 mm bullets as what are installed on the Turnigy packs. Naturally, I've found that they're usually not in stock. A quick Ebay search, and I found this. I ordered a few packs from this seller, very pleased with the service.

Ahhh, didn't notice your we're not in USA until after I posted. I don't know if he'd ship or not, but might be worth sending him an email, or maybe seeing if you can find another seller in your area of the Ebay world...sorry

What about 6mm bullets? I know Castle Creations makes great bullet connectors.

I use EC5 connectors on my 1/8's and Deans on my 1/10's. The EC5 are pretty big but so are most 1/8 truggies. The EC5's are good for 150 amps.

Deans

Thanks for all the info.
so would the xt60s be out as they seem popular with Heli guys and they rate them over the Deans for ease of soldering and connecting etc...or would they not handle the power of an 8th setup?
Thanks.

awesome thanks for that.
might look at doing that as I guess if you use red and black heatshrink you shouldnt get them mixed up
Love those tyres

If you can miss you'll always triple check, its my way of doing.

Tires are very old. seen lots of tarmac in their life.

I've been using deans for 3 years w/o issues in my 1/8 buggy and truggy The EC5 are nice but costly and wouldn't buy me even a .10 of a second lower lap times So i guess if I was just starting out and not replacing, maybe I would go w/ the EC5, but since everything else is already deans.. there is no reason to convert. It's nice not having to change plugs on my charger for different styles of plugs as well.. just more clutter at the track which I don't need or want.

I would face your battery wires towards the rear. Hard impact could crush the front and over time cause a short.
