I never liked Deans connectors (I am fairly good at soldering them on, thats not the issue), and will probably standardize on this pack for my my 1/8th electric stuff.

I'd assume a battery company sitting on a warehouse full of batteries with hardwires poking out of them aren't too keen to like the idea of retooling for bullet connectors. However, the argument that the internal connectors go bad over time is iffy, because in the 2S world bullet connectors are practically the norm outside of basher packs - with no issues that I've ever experienced.

However I have had a cases where the hardwired wiring became loose, leading to erratic connection to the cells which eventually leads to the demise of the pack. (I'm not one to go around resoldering the wiring on the internal LiPo cells.)
