I just received 24 pair, I have a LOT of soldering to do
Are that 5mm connectors? They look so small

Yup, 5mm. They are deisel big, "should" be better than the Deans even though I've never had a problem w/them. I wanted them for Hopefully better effciency. Gonna try them on one of my heavier 5s set ups and see how they work.


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

This evening I got a few solderd on, I must say, they are very robust plugs !
My only complant is if you fill the bullet a little much it'll over flow onto the out side of the bullet and it must be removed befor installing into plug, It's a tight fit without the solder on the exterior. The plugs go together smoothly and tight, there grip they have on each other is authoritive and requires some "umph" to seperate. Now the question is how will they last with repeated installs and removals, time will tell. At $1.29 for the male & female plugs it's a bargin in my book.
