Yeah, I don't like the idea of having to pull on the wires either. But really, there seems to be enuff area to solder to, and if you use good solder, even the smallest amount is SUPER strong. Many of the "pro type applications" with solder use very little. Solder isn't a good conductor of current, so less is better. I was told by an electrician that solders on a factory assembly line, that less is more, and it only takes a small amount to get a good strong bond. But then again, the stuff he's soldering isn't designed to be pulled on all the time either. So I don't know.

I'm thinking about getting some of those Hyperion Bullets. They look pretty nice. It seems that every has an opinion about what connectors are the best. I currently have CC 6.5's, and I guess they are fine. I don't like Deans simply because some of the ones I've used, which could have been knockoffs, are TOO tight. I have to pull on the wire to get them apart. A nice tight fit is great, but that's too tight I think. Is that caused by the casing getting too hot and melting a bit? Or is that the nature of "cheap" knock Deans... or the nature of "real" Deans? As I've said before somewhere... I really like the Traxxas connectors and Power Poles/Sermos. But the Sermos can't handle a ton of current. I beleive the Traxxas high current connectors can. I'd be using these on my ERBE too, but I don't know what to get. I need to get some connectors FAST because my ESC is now on it's way to me from Castle! And I need to get ready!
