The traxxas connectors are great alot easier to grab vs deans, it was a little of pain to solder the traxxas connectors at first then I realized that the female and male connectors have different parts if you mix em up they don't work....the little gold bars you solder, have different letters A and B and if you try to slide the A gold bar into the connector that came with B gold bar it won't go in...after I realized this they have been much easier to work with...lol
