Gentlemen,
Can we discuss the different types of ESC to battery connectors and why you decided to go with those?
I'll start. I started out in this hobby using Anderson Powerpoles. They are great connectors and I always made a good crimp so I never had to worry about losing power.
After a while I got tired of the large size and moved onto Deans. Then I found out there are three, maybe four "Deans type" connectors out there and I am never sure what I am going to get when I get a battery. The Deans tend to be kinda hard to separate, but I like the solid "lock" between them. They are a pain to solder and it takes some time to get that skill down. I am still not sure where I get a good solder joint and if you keep the soldering gun tip on them too long it melts the plastic.
What connector are you using and why? Right now I am researching my next choice for connectors I am prepared to swap out all my stuff for something "better" whatever that may be. I wish there were smaller power poles out there. I'd like to do something like that. I wonder if there are some connectors like that which may be non-RC related?
