To answer your question, Yes you can run dean no problem. Just have a little more patience when soldering...
I just converted all my 8th scale stuff to ec5 connectors.. I should have done it a LONG time ago! sooooo much nicer than deans. I'm actually considering ec3 for my 10th and just rid myself of that old tired design. It served its purpose but they are not good enough to take the 1/8 beating over time. I went two weeks in a row from first 1st to 4th and from 1st to 2nd loosing a-mains because my deans came unplugged. Last Thursday was my first race day w/ the ec5's and I ran all qualifiers and races w/o any plugs coming loose and took first in the truggy a-main! hope this starts a long streak of wins
