THe problem is, everyone see's their type of connector as the superior one, or uses it as a point of difference. FOr a while now many have been using the Corally bullet type commectors, expecially for Lipo. I personally don't, as I KNOW i'll mix up polarity even if I colour code it, but some swear by them.
It would be nice if we didn't need all the periphery the sport demands, but I have taken the approach of backing a horse, and if it's leg doesn't break, I keep running it.
I still use NiMh for that very reason. LIpo is still in it's infancy, and technology is changing so fast that there will probably be 2nd or 3rd gen chargers coming out soon that acutally make charging Lipo's safe!
