Favorite connectors
 

just want to know what everyone thinks are the best connectors in general. my buddy had me get traxxas type which im not happy with after using them. im super new to rc and think that im liking those deans connectors a little more.

Of the connectors that are not bullets straight into the battery, IMO, the deans are the best way to go.

+1 on deans. and don't get the cheap knock offs on ebay. get DEANS

XT60's or the ribbed "Deans" knockoffs from HobbyKing.

I used to use Deans. I swiched over to Traxxas plugs for all my batteries. Like having more plug to grab ahold of to pull them apart. I use 4mm bullets on my brushless motors.

i think i got knock off traxxas ones becuse they dont lock in at all they want to push apart when connecting them

Everything I have is wired for Traxxas stuff. I like the connectors.

If you get any solder or wire even the slightest bit past the line on the terminals, they can be a real pain to try to snap in. If not snapped in all the way the terminals will push back out when you connect them. I found that any solder that gets past this line can be easily removed with a sharp x-acto knife (with caution, of course). Also, the terminals are specific for either male or female connector too. I once made the mistake of opening both sets and soldering away and couldn't figure out for the life of me why I couldn't get the terminal to pop into the connector. After many of these connectors I've found them to be very easy to solder up.

EC3 or EC5 are the best
