    Default Anybody interested in 6.5mm CC bullet caps/plugs?

    All my trucks and boats use the CC 6.5mm bullets so I have 50+ connectors. Just the other day I put two lipos in my jacket pocket with the wires hanging out and seconds later I heard a crack and a bright light; I knew what that was. The two wires had made contact with my keys that were clipped to my jeans. With that being said I searched for some options to prevent this during transport and for storage I have some pics attached. There are two styles for the male and female. I am hoping Steve will maybe consider stocking them?

    Plus i figure for transport in the lipo bag. I have tried some and they work great. All my 6.5mm bullets have them now. Just thought if anybody was interested but I guess not.....

    The possibilty of shorting in toolbox is one reason I steer away from bullet connectors, I chop then off or plug deans convertors in as soon as I get them. Though I appreciate the current capability of 6.5 bullet. I'm giving XT60 (4mm) serious thought and phasing out my Deans for both cars and boats. I know Hobbyking ship 6.5mm on their 5000mah 2s packs. I either chop of the bullet or use an adapter as soon as they arrive as my charger doesn't have 5.6mm plugs.

    I just keep a rubber band on my batteries. If they aren't in the boat, the leads are rubber banded to opposite sides of the battery.

    I just use some heat shrink I dont heat about 1/8 inch from the end so it has a slight flare at the end so it easily can side over the connector then I pinch shut the other end while hot I never had a short/spark yet it works great and is cheaper than the vacume caps / bolt thread protectors
