Just make sure they are polarized so you don't connect them wrong. They come in red & black. Here's a link: ALL e RC | Deans Micro Polarized Pair - Black (DEANSMICRO2B) |

Get red polarized for the battery to esc connection; get black polarized ones for the motor to esc connection. Pay attention to the directions on the pack for the proper wiring.   |

no difference other than color. the reason for using 2 colors is so you dont accidently hook the battery up to the motor side of the esc and fry it. if using the same color for both mark them in some way so you get them screwed up.

Why this way? The female on the ESC motor side means that if a motor is NOT plugged into the ESC but the battery is, it's harder to short the pins on the Deans. The male on the ESC battery side means there is a female on the battery pack, this makes it harder to short the pack!    | |

The polarized ones have only one "prong" (with one female "prong" receiver) on the connecting side of each connector. Pay attention to how the packaging says to wire them. Non-polarized are male and female. Last edited by btoungette; 01-11-2012 at 11:39 AM. |
