I had a heck of a time solder deans. I think I don't have a hot enough iron. I kept melting the plastic too much. I did do the plugging 2 together thing.

Then soldered the traxxas for my kids slashs and it was a whole lot easier because you can solder the pieces out of the plastic.

I'd like to see some testing on the two different style plugs. I think a lot of guys are down on them because they are "traxxas".

But I also see the point that most racers use them so if you do need to borrow something, it makes sense to me.

Adapters just cause more resistance.
