    What about the Venom brand bullets. I found these to be the closest to the am1005m from hobby king. They don't give me an issue with the spec setups. But I seem to have a knack for desoldering them off a 1515 1y in. Y pursuit.

      I have access to a micro ohm meter that will place up to 300 DC amps on the connectors and calculate resistance and monitor temps. If i could borrow some Venom, Castle Creations, OSE and Hobby King bullet connectors, i will post the results. 4mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm and 8mm.

          I've got some 8mm VKTech's, I could send you a pair to add to the list/test. PM me your address and I'll send them out tomorrow.

            Its nice to know that the ones i use faired in the better end of the list. All they had listed was the 5.5 castles and i use 6.5's so i figure they are just as good or better.

                Just purchased some Castle Creations, HXT and OSE bullet connectors. Looking forward to testing their resistance and temperature under load.

                  I just put a set in the mail for you today. These are "budget" connectors so it will be nice to see what the difference is on budget vs premium bullet connectors.

                          sounds good, I'm getting ready to convert everything over from EC5's over to bullets. I'm leaning towards CC, but I'm curious to see what your testing shows.
