8mm is awesome, but overkill imho. And bulky as hell. 180A is no problem for them.


Can't wait to try a saddlepack setup
Deans are fine. Their ratings are 60A continuous . I have yet to hurt any Deans or TRX connectors using many different motor/cell combinations in 2wd or 4wd SC or with any of my 1/8 scale stuff. We're not out there putting that much continuous load on them.
