Hobbycity deans?

I agree getting 10g wire on a deans plug is tough . But i found it's even thougher getting 10g wire on a traxxas plug .The chinese plugs at half the cost or less would be hard to pass up .

How about getting Turnigy 8GA wire on a Deans? It's actually quite easy to do, just looks funny.

It would be eaiser on a deans plug than on a traxxas plug .

+1 on that, The wire morphs the plug LOL

8 gauge on a Crappy TRX plug is a impossibility, 10G is tough enough.

To solder 8GA to Deans, I tin the end of the wire and then use a Dremel tool to make a flat spot on the tinned end. Makes the joint a little smaller, and provides better contact will less solder. Yeah, it removes some wire, but the Deans plug metal has less cross-sectional area than the wire anyway, not to mention the reduced amount is made up for by the fact that solder is filling in all the little voids between wires. This might be possible to do it to Trx plugs too, as long as the wire fits into the housing.

I don't like the look of TRX plugs...Im not too sure why but I just don't like them. I was looking at some plugs and i'm putting an order together now but they seem to be out of stock(the yellow dean looking ones)...

I really like the EC5's from HC as well,they are big though but for the price it's a great deal.
