<DIV><BR></DIV>I have gotten these "no bulge/slotted design" connectors
from two sources: HobbyKing and BidProduct. You have to look
at the pictures carefully to see that they are the "no bulge/slotted

<DIV>I really like BidProduct for acquiring large quantities of the
smaller items, like connectors, extensions and hardware for my small hobby

<DIV>Ron, what brand of connectors has the no bulge/slotted

<DIV>I have noticed the difference in bullet connector design. I
used to buy 3.5mm bullet connectors which had a "bulge" in the center
of the male part. Recently, I noticed some 3.5mm bullet
connectors which had no "bulge" in the male part. They push into
the female part because there's a chamfer on the tip of the male part,
which compresses the slotted male connector so it will fit into the
female part. The big advantage of this design is that virtually
all of the connector is mated with the other half, unlike the ones
with a "bulge", which have significantly reduced contact area.
Then I noticed that you can buy this same design in 4mm, 5mm and
6mm bullet connectors. My opinion - these are far
superior.</DIV>

started out with Deans Ultra’s. 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>

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>
