Personally I've been running deans ultra plugs forever and never had a problem with them. They don't fall apart and I have yet to wear one out. I've made one Traxxas plug and had an issue with one of the pins pushing out. I fixed it easy enough but I've never encountered this problem with Deans as the pins are molded into the body. From and engineering stand point I will stay with Deans since they have a near bullet proof design and can handle very large currents without even a hint of overheating. I've actually used these to make car audio amplifiers easily removable and they've worked flawlessly.



FYI The so called "Tamiya" connector is really a 2 pin Molex connector. These are quite possibly the worst power connectors I've ever had to deal with (and still deal with at work). If not crimped perfectly the pins pop out or become misaligned. Not only that but they wear out quickly and cause severe power loss problems. It really makes me wonder why so many electronics use Molex connectors as a standard, but I guess they are fairly cheap.
