I highly doubt the Dean's plug is in any way responsible for the flame. Rated for 65amps continuous or not, they can safely burst MUCH higher current. A properly soldered Dean's plug(or Traxxas plug) can flow as much or more current with similar resistance than standard 10g or 12g wire and average draw will be less than 65amps almost certainly over the course of a run. Hell a 30 amp circuit in a house requires 10g wire to meet building code. I agree that the Castle bullets are better, but highly doubt the Dean's or Traxxas plugs to be the cause of anything here.
