Interesting... I have some Amass Anti-Spark AS150 connectors myself. If the EC5s supplied with my new LiPos are not strong enough for the system (because its VERY unlikely I will ever completely max out the 150A of the TP Power 4050 motor on a 1/8 ~12lb vehicle) then my AS150 connectors will be my solution.

I more of want a standard because it can be very scary or even dangerous for some people to change connectors on the LiPo side. I have no real issue doing it but I generally try not to mess with LiPos myself. Then theres the issue with wiring. Some packs that are massive and will be used in 8S+ vehicles come with 12AWG wire. And it is NEVER a good idea to attempt to change the wiring on a direct-wired pack, by absolutely ANYONE. Yea sure, the 10AWG coming on my new packs is sufficient for my use, but only just. Literally any higher amperage draw and the wiring would be at serious risk of overheating and melting.

So its literally these couple, simple issues that warrant this discussion.
