This is a great way to put it. I have Multimeters, and Meggers, that I have to switch leads and probes on and off for work, all of which still have passed calibration recertification with no issues, minor issues being batter replacements or battery box replacement. And all still have their original probes, leads, and ancillary equipment.

But these all have at the minimum a 4mm bullet style connector, and I have always felt if its good enough to accuratly provide a measured value, its probably decent enough for my RC. No issues, I have never felt that the Bullets have inhibited or led to a decrease in performance.

I use the 4mm Reedy Low pro. Bullet Connectors
