Default Bullet connectors or?

In the past i have just wired my motor direct to my esc. Its a pain to deal with sometimes so i want a connector.

I have heard some people say they dont like the bullet style. Whats my best option for the least resistance?

Bullets are the least resistive connector, then I think those Traxxas plugs and maybe even the Venoms (both bullet based), then Deans and PowerPole. There was a good comparison on the net a little while ago, but I don't have a link. Someone posted it here on RCC.

Downside to ease of swappage is cost.

For motors, I like the bullets, simply because the polarity can easily be changed if you need to.

X2 Plus I suck at soldering two wires together.

I use 4mm bullets, since alot of the good ESC's out there have provisions already for the 4mm bullet motor leads.

Deans would work well too, but you loose the ability to swap polarity to reverse your motor direction if need be.

Only times I haven't used bullets is on an MOA rig where there was only one ESC and/or electronic dig to also wire up. Then the wires just get soldered to the motor leads.
