Choice of which to use will be impacted by how much current you need to run.
true. most 1/10 bl systems can and do pull ~100 amps or more. as far as i know, deans is rated for 40, and traxxas is somewhere around 70, at least according to hobbytown. i thought about bullets, but when i noticed that my bullets on my mamba max were blazing hot, i was not sure, although they are only 4 or 4.5 mm. do they have larger than 6mm, like 8? i just dont like the fact that my deans gets quite hot after running for a bit. heat is resistance and that means less power. i also use 8awg wire whenever possible, as it has far less resistance than 12, and even that gets quite warm.
