Hi everyone,

This question is for Randy. Hopefully he sees it.

Earlier in the threads you stated never to use connectors between ESC and Motors. In my 4x4 Short course truck I Use a Pro4 normally. However at 1 track I race at they have a 10.5t limit. So I swap it out for that track using Hi quality connectors. I really don't feel like resoldering every 3 weeks.

Can you elaborate why we should never use connectors. I would have thought that a connector in between wouldnt have made a huge difference. There is a lot of connectors and compnentry between the battery through the ESC all the way to the magnets. I would have thought 1 more would connection through would not be to big an effect.

I would like it if you could let me know why we should not do it. I want to base my decision on what I do going ahead based on what info you provide. If it really is worth resoldering or not. (mind you I could always do with the soldering practice, I'm pretty average at the moment but have improved from when I first started a lot).

If anyone else knows the technicals of why, let me know.
