<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 design".
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I really like BidProduct for acquiring large quantities of the smaller
items, like connectors, extensions and hardware for my small hobby shop.
Many items can be purchased with free shipping.

<DIV>Ron, what brand of connectors has the no bulge/slotted
design? Do you use 4, 5 or 6mm?</DIV>

<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>

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>
