For the same reason as hard cased packs with bullets fail; the bullets (with repeated removal/replacement) get a little loose. This ramps up the resistance, causes them to get really hot, and then can desolder the connectors from the board.

I guess they only got rid of them on the power side because you'll need two sets of connectors (the 6.5mm bullets in the case, and the other connectors). You may need to change the order of the motor wires, so they kept the bullets on that side.


In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
