Default Connectors ?

What type of connectors do you use for your LiPo packs? I usually use Deans plugs but with the new bigger wires, it's getting difficult to make a good soldering job.

ECx are a pain to remove. Everyone loves Dean's, but I think the XT60s install more cleanly and conduct as well if not better.

EC5's are good if you have some big wire or need big current handling. Otherwise they are annoying. Hard to reuse and to big.

I've been running the XT60's in 1/8th e-buggy and e-truggy for over a year now. No issues.
