Powerpole connectors - 02.27.2005, 02:36 AM

Has anyone used these? I was just reading an article about these in this month's issue of RC Driver, and I'm thinking about switching over to them.

I know a lot of people swear by Dean's connectors, but the article mentioned three things that really struck a chord with me:
1) You don't have to solder the connections (which for me is a good thing), and if done right, the crimped connections can be better than a soldered connection.
2) Once completed, the connectors are shielded by the housing. The connections (crimped or soldered) don't require shrink wrap for shielding, and since there aren't any exposed terminals, there's no chance of shorting anything by accident.
3) You can hook up the plug housing in different configurations so you can use these connectors for the batteries, ESC, motors, etc. without accidentally hooking up something where it shouldn't be, such as plugging the battery to the motor controller side of the ESC.

Any thoughts?
