You are all wrong!!!


No seriously, both deans and traxxas connectors are a pain.
Especially if you are working in a high current environment.
Even deans have their limit, and I've seen quite a few succom to the current and melt.
At least if you are running 8th scale.
In 1/10 deans would be more than enough, but they are still a pain to work with.

I would any day recomend the EC plugs. EC3 for 10th scale and EC5 for 8th scale.
It's from Losi so you know they are good.

I myself use the Hobbyking equivalent simply because of price, and I have yet to see one fail.
In my local club there are quite a few 8th scale electric cars, and everybody uses EC5.

Here's a link for you:

They are hella easy to solder and EC5 will even take a 8awg cable with no issues. Though you need an iron of at least 40w, and thats pushing it.
No need for shrink wrap and you can't short them.
I'm never going to use anything else.
