EC3 or Bullet Connectors?

[Tom M]

I am building my Titan 40 and was wondering if I want to run 2 14.8V Li-Po's in parallel so I have the most runtime at 14.8V. I will be using the Turnigy 180A ESC with a Feigao 11XL and probably some Zippy Li-Po's. I am wondering if the EC3 or 5.5mm bullet connectors would be able to stand up to the amps being put out by the esc.

Go with the 5.5mm bullets. Those EC3 connectors are expensive. The 11Xl will not draw anymore than 100 amps.

Actually they're like $0.99 at hobbycity.com and I was going to order a couple with the batteries if they can be used with my setup.

Anyone else?

The EC3 connector is only rated for 60 amps continuous.

The EC5 is rated for 120A continuous and 10AWG wire.

Thank you very much, I'm probably going with the EC5 connector.
