I run the SRAMOS setup--and my truck nosedives 100% of the time--when I intend for it to.....

I haven't run the ofna--but can tell you the HB is a perfect fit!!!

The hotbody's is perfect

I run a Losi 22 Alum servo horn and it works great too.

that's only true if you're talking about a pack that's directly wired to the cells. if you're talking about a pack that has inboard tubes, then the pack with a deans harness will have one more set of connectors soldered and i'm pretty sure that tips the scales in favor of bullets directly from the esc to the battery.

danny, are the big 3 (baker, door, blair) all going to run at the nats?

My original point about all of his is people claiming deans are inferior to bullets and soldering joints coming apart from excessive heat--this is all untrue--especially when you see the difference in resistance values in favor of deans.
I also believe a page or so back the original poster said he ended up spending a couple of hours learning how to solder properly and felt that his problem all along was a cold solder joint (something I and other posters suggested).
Not trying to get a deans/bullets war started--I run both--just trying to make sure people are working off accurate info!

Those batteries I mentioned, you won't be close to cutoff in a 5min qualifier. The 7200 I'm still not to cutoff after a 10 min main with a few practice laps. Also a good idea to run a new battery for a few min then back on the charge and balance a few times to break it in. I won't let mine get lower then 3.8 a cell for the first 5+ runs

I don't think so. If deans has a resistance of .00090 and the bullets are .00250 and you double up the deans you would add another .00090 and end up with .00180--still lower than the bullets.

The biggest reason I like outboard connectors (Deans, Traxxas, EC5, etc.) is that if anything happens to them or they wear out I can easily replace them. Kinda hard for me to replace an inboard connector and even if I do it, it could lead to the pack no longer being legal depending upon where you race and what rules they enforce.

Was something I was wondering as well, when I do my bullets I make a nice pool of hot solder to dip my wire into getting a solid 360deg connection vs. deans you have to solder on to a flat plate. Either way a good job will be negligible between the two.
