bullets on board of the V3

[suicideneil]

Ya just paranoid boy; Castle escs are made by professionals, where as the traxxas escs were assembled by chimps, in china, driniking PG tips probably...

The larger surface area on the bottom of the 6.5mm plug should keep it formly rooted to the PCB vs the 3mm? 3.5mm? bullets on the vxl escs..

Also, the 6.5mm bullets we use on the MMM are through-hole, which means they mount through a copper plated hole drilled in the circuit board. So they are soldered on both sides of the board (with a pin that goes through the board.)

So there is significant mechanical connection as well as the soldered connections. They are much tougher than SMT connectors which only have a small soldered connection on the board.

Nice neil....

I don't plan on screwing around with my bullet connections, I heard that every connect/disconnect risks poor connection and wear out. Of course, these are probably the same nimrods who insist the MMM is completely waterproof
