<div dir="ltr">Gents,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What is the current thoughts on ESC/Power connectors? I started with EC5's, wasn't too pleased with the assembly/dissassembly methods. Went to Dean's, because they are really easy to solder, less bulky, lighter. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm also parallel charging. So this means I have a 6 lead Male Deans cable. For the very first time, I actually touched-off one of these cable positive/neg lead tabs, and created a spark/weld action :( I was in the process of unplugging all the leads
after finishing a storage charge, and the touch-off happened. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thus, I'm rethinking... Has anyone made a protective shield that surrounds the male side, and stays put on the Dean (not like the removable cover pieces available). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would appreciate some thoughts. Thx Jim </div>
</div>
