I don't want to get into a pissing match, but I find it funny how you call the pack connectors sub par, but use Deans on the batteries. The battery is capable of putting out 300 amps continous, and yet the deans connector can handle about 70 according to what I've found on the net. Even the basic VXL slash motor is rated at about a 60amp current, and that isn't max.

i'm sure the Deans are awesome for brushed motors, as were being used since the stone ages, but with brushless and lipos and the ability to supply gobs of current, a better connector is needed sometimes.
