They worked fine but didn’t wear too well. The arc from connecting them together was really chewing them up. Then I switched to 5.5mm bullets. Those worked great and the arc did damage where it didn’t matter. The problem I discovered later was when I needed some more. Not all 5.5mm are created equal and I ran into some serious fit problems from one batch to the next. I noticed that most of the Europeans were using 4mm bullets. These are made a little different than the 5.5mm and have more “spring” in them so the tolerances don’t have to be so close. Like the 5.5mm bullets, the arc damage happens on the very tip which is not part of the actual electrical connection. I’ve been very happy with the 4mm bullets and will be starting my third season with them. BTW, I never noticed any power changes from the Deans to the 5.5’s to the 4’s. Hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Verne Koester<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org [mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Jerry Stebbins<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, March 29, 2011 5:29 PM<br><b>To:</b> Discussion -NSRCA<br><b>Subject:</b> [NSRCA-discussion] bullets<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>All E's. What size bullets have you settled on for your packs/ESC connections? Seems like something that would sorta get standardized after a lot of 70A usage. I have heard from 3.5 to 6.0. Would think it would work itself out to support the nominal max. I that most see. I am sure 3D needs all they can get but for AMA/FAI patterns seems like it otta round off pretty close for most using 5s packs.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Thanks ahead</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Jerry</span> <o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
