Also has anyone bought the cheap hong kong deans connectors from ebay? Are they any good?
What size banana plugs do you all run for motor/esc and esc-->batteries?
If you have an ESC with posts rather than wires, I'd just run straight wire, no bullets. Solder wire to the motor and then straight to the ESC. It may be a bit less convenient than bullets, but it's a more solid connection and makes for a cleaner wiring job.
