I have two Losi 8eight e-buggies using SMC 6500 70C batteries (a few years old but still going strong).

If there is a more convenient connector then I am all for it but I wouldn't want to sacrifice safety of performance. It's basically impossible for my 12yr old son to pull the battery from the buggy. I have to do it...and it's still a pain.

Thanks for any help!
I've always used Dean's for my 1/8 rc's. I find them a lot easier to disconnect without worrying if it'll come undone while driving. Traxxas plugs are also a little easier to disconnect compared to ec5. But deans are easier to reuse
