Not sure why people seem to have trouble with deans unsoldering. When soldered properly, the joint should be low resistance, there are probably higher resistance joints in the esc and motor that would unsolder first or fail first (higher resistance, e.g. get to pcb in esc, or lead into motor). Having bought a few used models, and seeing the way people have soldered deans onto escs and batteries, (and some bullet connectors) and I'm surprised they even worked. I work in the electronics industry and have been soldering since college, so that might be why I don't have an issue. The resistance of the connector, if soldered properly has bigger issues with cross section of the areas making contact, or corrosion. I left my boat with deans, solder deans onto the batteries, and the connectors and joints don't get hot .... other parts of the circuit do. Wouldn't mind trying xt60 as they seem easier to plug and unplug, and can be handled by my 5 year old son.
