<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>
