whose 4mm bullet connector is the best
 
I see prices from 50 cents to 3 dollars for a single bullet.
This is not an area to skimp but no sense in getting the $3 ones if the $1 works just as well if not better. More money for tires :)
Currently running deans but slowly switching to bullets for cleaner wiring and hopefully better current flow.

Castle are some of the best, at least the style is. Duratrax also makes the same style. Either way pass on the "basket" or "cage" style.

good...

these also work well, IMO.http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXYXF3&P=7

anything but these!!!

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJPY4&P=7

all IMO of course

I wouldn't do it for more/better current flow. No real gain IMO unless it's in maybe an E8 car. Does make for a nicer/cleaner set-up though. Just don't plug them in backwards..:deathstar

A-Main's Pro-Tech plugs are rather nice. Good tight fit and they have a cutout so you can lay the wire down.

I like the Duratrax the best.

+1 for the castle plugs.
:nod:

they have bigger too, but I like the 4mm ones linked in post #2.

I use these:

Never had any problems with them. I know the link is to 3.5 mm bullets, but reedy makes 4 mm bullets.

I don't think you can beat the castle's. The 4 prong style is def the way to go over the rugular banana ones or whatever. I gave the hobbyking 4 prong ones a try, but they are much weaker than the castle ones, you have to spread them with a knife about everytime you unplug them to keep them tight.

I like the Duratrax ones myself. Nice low profile clean look, they fit nice and tight. Good rule is to route your wires so you can't plug them in backwards.
