I'm using the xt90's on mine and really like them.

I used to use EC5 but I'll be honest, the damn things were too hard to pull apart after a run. My son couldn't get them apart at all and I could barely get them out without feeling like I was going to rip the wires out when it suddenly pulled free.

So I just switched everything to Deans for this new build (after Danny at SMC said all he uses is Deans) and they work great.

I use XT150's but i'm weird. Allows me to run single 4S or double 2S/3S for 4S/6S power in series without any additional adapters and are super easy to solder and connect.

I've been using Deans and never had a problem with them.

Never had an issue with EC5's, but look into Anderson Power Poles... I pretty bought a lifetime supply of them from McMaster Carr about 10 years ago for about $30. I *still* have a huge pile of them.

We have always used deans,the key is to strap you wires down so they are not flopping around. At big races I put a little piece of electrical tape on the plugs.

Tried them all and the Castle connectors. I always end up going back to dean's. The traxxas plugs come unplugged alot and the others are either too bulky and flop around or are hard to take apart.

I need another car stand. I have a TLR plastic one for my 22-4 2.0 now which works ok. Does Tekno have anything like that?

Anyone else remember when Tekno said they were working on a setup guide and were going to release it. Anyone have any info if it died out or is still in the works?

Not that I know of but Petersen Metal makes really nice stands with your name cut into them. I have one and it is REALLY nice. They are based out of Hudson, FL.

Ok final race ready photos before it gets dirty...

Kinda just want to leave it on the shelf like a trophy

Any one have a good setup for a very loose and dusty track? Also whats a good tire compound to use on a surface like that?

A little dielectric grease on EC5 connectors makes them work excellent. We had the same issues till I started using dielectric.
