I've read that Deans connectors are good for 60amps continuous (for airplane guys). Our motors aren't going to pull that much on average, which is why they work so well! The only way that Deans connectors would fail is if so much current was being pushed through them at a decently high voltage that they got hot enough to melt the plastic housing. I'd bet that the wires would come unsoldered before that would happen, though.
