Leo,
The heat is exactly what wears out the plug type connectors (which is why on the Lehner motors, the plugs must be changed frequently - they lose tension from the heat). Of course the dean's will eventually wear out, but they last for years.
The plugs (Dean's or Gold) are easy to install, and will last longer if you keep the "spring type things" cool while you solder the wire (wrap in damp cloth).
I have a picture in the gallery (yellow buggy bodied e-maxx) of ONE of my e-maxxes. Good point, though. I should get some pictures of my other maxxes up too.
