8mm is awesome, but overkill imho. And bulky as hell. 180A is no problem for them.
Can't wait to try a saddlepack setup
I've never had any issues at all with Deans connectors, and I perfer them over other connectors.

Agreed. The only difference between this set up and a regular stick pack is Milliamp Hours.
