New 5.5mm connectors

Well I switched every thing over to 5.5mm connectors today I thought I was never going to put my soldering pencil down all day I hope it will pay of. The last time I ran my boat the Deans plugs got hot and melted the shrink wrap with my new Ammo motor this should help

There will be a big increase in power with your new 5.5mm bullets.
Alot less resistance!
Alot less heat!

Plus, i think they look better then deans.

You will love the 5.5mm connectors, they flow more current than deans..
also you do not need that series wire.. just connect battery neg to pos and esc neg and pos..
this way you can run 2s, 4s, 6s, 8s, etc..

[z400]

Leads might not be long enough on the batteries to do that.

you might have to solder up a small wire with a 5.5mm female on one end and a male on the other.

Great stuff, I am thinking I should make the jump to 5.5mm as well. I never was crazy about the deans.

[z400]

Yeah if you are still running Deans on your SV, you are outdated friend.

leads???
more than enough length. I run all my boats, cars, and planes this way..
more connectors could mean more resistance

For me, the 5.5mm connectors made a big difference

[wizard122]

Thanks all I didn't think of that.

[wizard122]

Can you charge that way too?

can I charge two packs together that way too?

As long as you use both of your balance tabs hooked up to your charger..
my charger only goes upto 5A so I only charge one at a time.
