I couldn't agree more. A Tamiya connector will work fine on a 1.5kg touring car down to about 15x2. And although they have more resistance than other connectors it would be very marginal on lap times in a Mini, if anything at all.
Having said this, if you have a soldering iron and it's allowed then Deans (brand) connectors are far more reliable for the piece of mind, especially if you have expensive electronics.
