I guess as long as their no "advantage" of using the bullets over say an XT90, then I'll stick with my XT90, although I am trying to justify the extra cost of running LiHv, in which case those I've only seen with bullet connections on the batteries.
I see you've already made a decision but I'll add 2 cents here.
My preference is to stay away from 1/8th scale batteries that use bullet connectors. My reasoning is this: Any connector has some resistance. Resistance causes heat when the current flows. I would rather have the heat being generated in a connector in open air where there can be some convection to carry the heat away than have the heat being generated inside a battery case where there is no convection and the heat just builds up. I've seen many batteries with melted areas around the bullet connectors and I believe the internal head build up is why.
Yes, I know lots of people use bullet packs in 1/8 - I won't for the reason mention above.
