Also is there anywhere that will solder the deans on when you buy the lipo for you?

Deans are fine for what we do, they can handle the current draw just fine- its only the extreme setups like very heavy/tall geared 1/8 trucks and bigger that call for something like bullet plugs.
As for soldering, just ditch the deans and go for something better like EC5 connectors or 5.5mm bullets; I sure as heck wouldnt pay an LHS or electrical store ~£10/hour to change over/ solder my battery connectors. Easy work around would be to solder on a short length of 12g wire to the end of the 8-10g wire ( butt joint ), allowing you to solder on the Deans much more easily.
