Or has anyone got some they can give to me (all donations will be put onto a mini t ) ← ebay or somewhere like that. deans are quite expensive compared to other connectors. dont u already use corally connectors?? if u do carry on using them they are great.

Iv tried ebay theres oone action for a 1 pair and it finishes in 8 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyper-harry Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 wise choice deans are polarity protected and also in many tests they give the best flow electricity through them compared to corallys, tamiyas & banana plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samari Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 They're basically the same but Deans are slightly better. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to notice the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinb456 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 i have about 20 female connectors - i could sell them to you cheap. however i dont have many males, but i do have a few. how many of each would you need? btw, deans are the shiznitz, definatly dont get tamiya, and personally i would get them over corallys.

hyper-harry Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 it is true though but some top racers still use corallys!! Look at this!! bottom of the page shows Resistance of different connectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpi_matrix_stock Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 (edited) Just found some that I chopped off some old battery packs a while back . I use corallys because my pro 2 is set up in a saddle pack formation so corallys are alot easy to use as they dont need wires on the batteries. The only reason I want deans is for my mini t. Also with deans you need wire so wouldnt you need to take that in to consideration? My corallys are direct on to the batts. But then theres wires on the esc and its getting all confusing!!!!!!!!!!!!! . I doubt id notice the difference either way Edited June 5, 2005 by Hpi_matrix_stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can fit deans or tamiyas just one of the wires has to be longer than th other so when you slide your saddle pack in the connector stays on one side and so the longer wire slides under your top deck.

Im not a proper racer (hence the pro 2 ) so it probably wont make a difference to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
