I figured i'd ask this question in this thread since it's related. Does it REALLY matter which plug you use (male or female) for a particular electronic device? I don't see how it matters. |

I don't think it really matters except on the batteries. When I used to race onroad my buddy put all male ends on his batteries and they would always spark/short out on stuff in his bag or toolbox! But besides that you can prolly run them either way. | |

Well i think that is a very easy to answer, the male is the one that has two prongs that stick out, and would be very easy to shortout if tuched to something metal (the battery will allways have power in it even if the battery has been run down) the feamale would be harder to shortout. so on the battery you would want to use the female and on the esc you would use the male, and the battery charge when it is not pluged in to a bettery it has no power going out of it so you would use the male. well i hope that i have helped, good luck larry |

Yep... I foundout the hard way to put females on the battery packs... Had one go up on me in my gear when I first got into RC's... Shortly after that incident, I went to females on the batteries and males on the motors and things quit smokin' and shorting on me...;)

If your gonna run Deans on the motor/ESC connection,I'd run the male on the motor side. Simply because you could,if you wanted to,use a battery to break in a new motor.  Always run the female side on batteries,for above stated reasons. I've used a battery thats not peaked to break in motors dipped in a glass of water. Not really a "have to" deal,just comes in handy.

The way I understand it,it helps the brushes seat faster to the comm. I may be wrong,just a tip I've heard from a few racers and electric RC guys. | |

water does a couple of things, it keeps the new motor's comm and brushes cool, and helps keep them clean, to improve the surface contact. but there might be more to it than that. just remember to re-oil the bearings afterwards

seeing as how there are people who seem to know what they are doing in here, when I run my 55t integy in reverse it sounds normal, but when I'm running it forward there is a buzz, not like electric buzz, like a baseball card in the spokes buzz. any ideas? it has been doing it new out of the bag, just starting to get louder.

If you use female ends on your battery packs then you charger will have male ends to short out if it touches any metal.

I'd rather have something thats sitting on the workbench with open ends rather than something bouncing around the tool bag or in the truck with open ends. You could make an adapter with male ends on both sides and run female on the battery AND charger if your that big of a klutz  | |
