XT60 connector is much better than Deans. If you go Deans there are much better clones these days including the T-plugs from HobbyKing and the Star plugs from Hobbico. |

+1 for XT60. They're the best IMO. I can't stand Deans connectors and everybody calls me crazy which is fine with me.

I have EC2 for comp crawler, XT60 for wraith and others in 1/10 scale, and XT90 for my unlimited class FOFF rig (basically 1/8 truggy..) Might have gone with XT30 for comp rig if they had been availabble when I changed away from deans..

| Re: Battery connectors? I'm running XT 60 on everything after switching from deans. Holy hell are they nice compared to the old standby! I'm really kicking around the idea of switching my crawlers over to XT 30 but I run powerful motors on 4s so I'm not sure I'd want the amp drop. |

If I didn't have so many vehicles and batts on T-Plugs, I'd go XT60 for heavy draw and XT30 for smaller stuff. I made the mistake of starting with Deans and then buying Chinese Deans clones because of the price. But now I find some of my T-Plugs don't like each other. Sucks.

| Re: Battery connectors? Yes! I wish more people would give XT60's a try. They'd see how much better they are compared to Deans.

| Re: Battery connectors? I switched to dean's years ago from lightspeed (anyone remember them? ) and they were superior if only due to size. I switched to XT 60 last year when I started running 4s due to dean's limited amperage rating. 2 of my friends I crawl with switched to XT 60 at the same time when one of them lost a channel on his hitec x4 charger when the dean's plug shorted out on a steel bench.

Unfortunately, I still use Deans because most people I trail with use Deans and I don't think anybody uses XT60's. It's nice to have backup in case I ever completely run out of batteries. | |

Batteries are cheap, carry more and use the superior connector. Who knows the schmuck you run with might see the light. I run 1300 4s packs and my friends run maximum 850 3s so I crawl for well over half an hour per pack. They are lucky to get 15 minutes yet I show up with 9 charged packs everytime we go out. Preparedness is important. |

| Re: Battery connectors? I just carry a Deans to XT60 adapter in my trail pack for an emergency. But I also usually hit the trail with about 3 days run time worth of packs.
