Default Hmmm, I may switch to Traxxas connectors

My friend picked up a Traxxas Stampede a few weeks ago and we got to bash last week and I got to play with this TRX connectors a bit. I have to say, its shit loads easier to pull them apart then my deans. My deans are performing well, but they are a real pain to solder correcly and then having to cover up the joins to prevent shorts. Ironically my SMC Lipo's orginally came with TRX as a misorder, but I was so impatient I immediatly switched to Deans. Now after trying both, I think I may get rid of the Deans and go TRX for convienence.

After years of Deans, I just switched this week. I was tired of having nothing but wire to pull on to unplug them. And, YES, I did have the males plugged to a female when soldering to keep the pins from moving.
The Traxxas connectors work great so far, I am happy with them!

I am running all Traxxas connectors now myself. Solder and click-in and you're done!

I really like the traxxas connectors, thats all I use now. They're very easy to grap/grip.

Ive been a deans fan for some time now, and yes I understand the soldering issue... they are a bugger!.. Ill have to check into these traxxas plugs.. they look like it may be worth switching over to
