I know this has been brought up before but after running this weekend I've got a sneaky suspicion that deans plugs are just not up to the 1/8 job we would like for them to be.
Could deans plugs be the weak link in an electrical system? I'm having trouble keeping my tekno neu cool. Last night it got up to ~185 after a full 20 min main. I was not going easy on it, but it's only geared for ~36. I don't think a Neu motor is suppose to get this hot under running condition. If the deans plug is causing some resistance under high amp draw could this be affecting the motor temp because of the voltage drop?
I think I'm going to try another connector type before I race again, a serious connector this time.
