Deans do make a difference! After reading this thread I decided to finally swap them.
I changed them so far on 4 of my guns and you can instantly tell the rate of fire went up.
Soldering these little buggers is a pain though, but once done they are worth it.

Yeah the first one or two are a real pain, but after those first ones, it's all right, you get the hang of it.

Hey i just ordered my deans from Extreme Deals, any idea how long it will take to ship to Ontario? A rough estimation of course... I got my 100/140W solder and im excited to try it out.

It averages out to two weeks for me. When i'm lucky, 1. I've had stuff in transit for more than 4.

Yeah expect at least 2 weeks. Sometimes they take a week before even shipping their stock, while some other times, they take 1 day. Really depends. But you should expect at least 2 weeks. Less if you are lucky.

Dealextreme is probably the best HK gadget retailer, put them in your favorites.

Yup, will do that for sure. Thanks for the ETA for Extreme Deals, just wanted a rough estimation on when i would be receiving the connectors..

hello guys, i finally got my deans connector today and it has roughly been around 2 weeks! Anyways, today i was trying to fit a male into a female connector and it was nice and snug. However, when i take it off, it was more difficult as i had to use my fingernail to pry them both apart. How do you guys take yours apart? Mine doesnt have the grip on the side.

When the wires are on it they're easy to take apart.

But you dont actually pull on the wires right? I dont want to disconnect the wire from the connector.

Amos · September 3rd, 2009, 17:58

Use good wire and solder it properly and that wont happen.

i use a traxxas conector cuz i use it in my rc and my kraken i just needed a bud to sodder it

turok_t · September 4th, 2009, 15:28

I opened up the stock of my gun and i saw this other wire that connects to the battery wire. Am i supposed to change this to deans as well? I labelled this as "???"

Am i supposed to change ???? to a male deans?

Skladfin · September 4th, 2009, 15:48

male on the motor side, female on the battery side. so the ??? should be male. Just do the exact same as what the Tamiyas are.

and you can buy Genuine Deans Ultra plugs from your local hobby store for about $4~$5 each pair of male/female. No reason to buy them online and wait for them to ship it.
