I'm running the Traxxas connectors now. I switched from the Deans. I was tired of pulling so hard on the Deans without a good place to grab hold of. So far I really like the Traxxas connectors. It was faster than I thought to switch over and no heat shrinking is required. A whole fleet of batteries and speed controls (6-8 batteries, 4 ESC's, and 2 chargers) took about 1-1.5 hours total.

A couple minor issues:
1. If you have to remove them for any reason it's near impossible to do it without destroying the connector housing.

2. If you don't pay attention to the 'solder line' it can be difficult to insert the connectors into the housing. I just solder them real good and clean up the joint with a Dremel until it's at the solder line and I haven't had any trouble since.

I've noticed no difference in power or heat, you'd need equipment to measure that.
