sick of paying $3 for deans plugs

Way to stereotype. Before linc calls you something colorful like freezepop, I suggest you chill that ego, and let's not turn a thread about connectors into a fight.

That's all.....

I think "freezepop" was just trying to make a joke, as the nikko comment alluded to. He may come across a bit harsh but I am sure he is just poking a little fun.

This is not a cheap hobby, and if you want stuff to work well and last the best products are necessary. I have used deans for quite a while and they have generally served me well. They could be better made, and some sort of cleaning instructions on the packet would be beneficial too. I would like a polarized bullet connector housing that could handle something like 5mm bullets. I like the idea of the ec5 connector, but I think it could be a bit bigger for our high current uses.

I am starting to outgrow deans as my setups become more refined, so I will be looking carefully into the various products available.

I use EC5's and am pretty sure they are 5mm bullets in there. They never get warm, even when racing. I've got an unmade pair here, alongside a 4mm connector, and the EC5 bullet is definately a lot bigger. It dwarfs the 4mm completely.

The diameter is definately 5mm too, I just measured it. This isn't the bent loop bit either, but the tip widest part of the tip.

Hmm, I may have to pick some up and look at them. The HC ec5 knock offs say 4mm in the description though. I will have to buy both and see if there is any difference.
