Bullet connectors on Battery/ESC

[zeropointbug]

Connections J57ltr, are a huge problem in electronics, I have seen it myself many times, all caused due to inadequate connections. You can never have 'too much', and there is no such thing as overkill. I am going to be using 6.5mm CC bullets right away as well, I have had too many Deans plugs wear out on me at the wrong time.

If you are not fusing the connectors together, or they are not melting on you, then you aren't really having a problem. Sure everything is going to get hot, it's little bitty wire run for short distances running insane amounts of current through them.

Deans are not bad connectors, but like anything else you have to be able to solder them right. If you heat them up too much you can actually reposition the pin and it will not make a good connection.

Yes there is no such thing as overkill on wiring, but if all you change is the connector I think you are missing something. If your connector is larger than your wire then something is wrong. Why not upgrade to10 or even 8 ga wire while you are at it? If you are not upgrading the wire too then you are just wasting your time.

Believe me I have seen my share of bad connections. My entire working life has been related to electronics from X-ray, to Downhole tools for the oil field industry to Audio and alarm installation, and amplifier repair/modification to wiring complete electrical systems for Rock Crawlers (just finished the Bronco from Monster Garage, you want to know about power hungry applications try dealing with a 10K # winch running on only12V with a 6.5 HP shunt wound brushed motor), to engineering and building systems for industrial processes, welding TIG and MIG, ya I would say I know a little something about bad connections.

You guys are all over the connections but there is never any mention of the wire where is the concern for the wire?
