The Traxxas X01 uses Traxxas connectors (are they any better than deans?) and even the Savage XS which pulls 160-170 Amps on a stock start runs deans with no issues.

My plan was to have 6mm bullets on the ESC, going to a Y Harness with a Castle Pro BEC wired into the ESC plug end of the harness (so it gets 6s voltage) and with a no spark resistor between the + plugs on the esc and the harness (esc side) with the 2 plugs from the harness to batteries being Deans. So I would connect both batteries to the Y Harness (which would then give power to the BEC Pro from the ESC end of the Harness), Connect Negative (6mm Bullet), Connect Resistor (2mm Bullet) and connect Positive (6mm Bullet) in that order.

The ESC would also be running a Castle Cap Pack

Motor wise, either a Castle 2028 (when mine returns) and one of these in the interim

Geared for no higher than 40mph
What happened to your 2028? Did it fail? Bearing?
