• I like your vids, but man you made a booboo with this setup. You can't use Deans for a high amperage setup like the XO is and wonder why the ESC went up in smoke and solder started melting.

• @Snellemin So, wait a minute-
  You are saying that the first ESC, WHICH WAS STOCK AND ON TRAXXAS CONNECTORS STRAIGHT FROM FACTORY, which also, HAVE THE SAME RELATIVE RESISTANCE AS DEANS, blew up because the wrong connectors were on!?!?!?!
  Then the second ESC which had my Deans on it, it blew up because I used connectors with the same relative resistance as the factory???
  I just want to make sure we establish a Squirrel "booboo" on STOCK or a "traxxas didnt use bullet connectors" "booboo"

• @Snellemin Further, I have used Deans on high powered with no issues. The Deans went up in smoke, much like the traxxas connectors did, as the ESC crapped out, and as the ESC had a class C fire burning it, the heat from the wires connected to the wire was hot enough to melt the solder and detach from the wire.
  This is on stock traxxas and the deans.
  I have used Deans and 5/6mm bullets on high power. On good ESCs the temps on the deans were not hot.

• @Squirrelod I said High Amperage and not High Power(Watts). I too use Deans with high burst of Amps, but never continuously. Deans are rated around 65A. Do you really think the Traxxas XO setup pulls 65A continuously?? The Castle ESC uses 6.5mm bullet connectors for the motor alone. Doesn't that alone give you an indication that Deans would not suffice?
