Man O man....... Connector debate

no battery to battery jumper required..........

Use whatever you like, if they will take the amps go for it. Your River cat may need 8mm thou not sure what kind of amps that set up will pull. You can't go wrong with castle connectors. I am using the bullet style they have and am happy with them

I doubt that the 1515 motor will pull over 200amps. I'm pretty sure I'm going the castle route. I like the looks of them too. The price of admission is a little steep because I have to do 3 boats, two buggies, my 4 port charger and 11 batteries.

Why were you told to stay away from them?

I didn't say that. Larryrose11 did.

Here ya go guys. Here's that deal I mentioned earlier.
20 pair of gold plated 5.5mm connectors for $9.84 + free shipping. I bought 40 pair, they're great. I even used a pair to make a pigtaiI + charger adapter for my Yamaha v star. Now I can peak it w/o pulling the side cover....

Really? Mine pulled well over 300 amps on 6S in a SAW RiverCat when I used a big prop.

I was told that above 150A, they can get hot. I use 5.5 on my batteries for high drain applications, which are always in parallel anyway. I use 8mm connectors on my motors.

How big a prop are are you talking about Fluid

2030 - 2350kv w/ the m442, on 4s - 6s is a proven combination that'll really make things get up & boogie...

[kfxguy]

It was in the 50mm range....

This is a silly statement.
Sorry, but you really should have personal experience with setups you recommend.

I decided on the castle ones. I picked up 4 sets today. I have 16 more sets on order and shoukd be here Tuesday. Be able to run the boat next weekend. I finished it up tonight. I'm excited!

That was one fast build! I was still filing the the edge on a piece of carbon fiber I cut while you completed an entire build! I look forward to seeing the beast run, keep her in one piece!

I know man. I've been working my ass off on that thing. I worked on it till 3am Saturday. I've been in the shop every day last week working on it. I've put alot of time in this thing. It turned out nicer than my cheetah. And you know the cheetah is nice too. I think im about to get another rivercat hull in fiberglass and try a twin........
