I have seen a pilot with the ec3 use snap ring pliers to in plug his. He drills 2 small holes for the tips. Easy as pie.

Cool idea! Thanks for the tip.

I am switching all mine from deans to powerpoles, though.

Thats a neat tip! That would make it a heck of alot easier to unplug them too.

See I find the ec3 connectors easier to unplug than deans connectors

Use nothing but deans connectors.

Deans on everything that connects to a battery. I am finding that soldering 6s leads to a deans connector can be very interesting. Doesn't leave a whole lot of space. Will probably try the powerpole connectors on the larger batteries for my daughters plane.

Power poles, just like what comes on a new DA ignition module. No soldering required.

Dean's on the A123 reciever batteries in my airplanes, and on the LiFe's in my heli's and EC5's on all the 6S stuff for my helicopters.

I like the Star plugs....as long as you can snap the guard on without splitting it. That is one of their cons.

I was surprised to see Bob Violett Models uses Deans on their high wattage EDF's, or EVF'S as they call them. Lot of people say they won't handle that kind of load, but I guess they must.

If you use Deans, make sure you buy the good ones. There are cheaper ones out there and they suck.
