Just thought it looked funny. Do some people really have this many different connectors?

That's 19 companies trying to have a proprietary connector.

I'd like to see the huge solder joint blob under the shrink wrap.

Wait, there's two bare wires, so 18 different connectors.

Cause there might be something else you can connect? Alligator clips!

Probably has some sort of board or something in there....I've seen one before with 8 and I made a 6 plug one. I went to fry's and made my own board for it....was easy peasy.....and then the idiot I made it for, left it in the woods..........and forgot where.

Later EddieO

Guess I'm weird for only needing 3 different connectors. Then again I don't really have any high amp setups that a deans can't handle.

Rx plug for radio lipos
Molex for the kids' stuff
And deans of course

Other than maybe bullets, what else is needed? I guess of course one could switch out deans for their connector of choice xt60, trx etc

I HATE those massive charge squids. I damn near burned down the store because of one of those! I refuse to ever use one again.

I have a squid that came with my racers edge, it don't have nearly as many connectors, Its a pita to have, but i'm too lazy to build single connectors.

Mine has a huge crimp connector, with solder around the outside, i guess to act as glue
