The main thing is the plastic housing is made out of a new compound that more heat resistant to make em easier to solder and they've got some kind of new coating on the blades that makes them more conductive. The males are supposed to be gold and the females silver I think he said. That's why...
Heres an update to the new Deans release...(Yall would think I'm on this mans marketing payroll lol) Below are some pics of the new connectors that Robin sent me. They come in black or white, and the plastic they are made of can withstand higher temps than the original to help making them learn...
Yeah, when I first started using them I was also just learning how to solder and I probably screwed up 5 out of the first 10 but once you know how to solder correctly it isnt an issue anymore. I love Deans but I'm only married to them cuz I dont want to spend hours changing all my connectors and...
I'm heavily invested in Deans so I dont really want to have to change lol. I think the generic ones with the ridges pull apart much easier but he didnt say when they were adding the ridges to the connectors just that it was at least a few months down the road. He was extremely vague about...
Something else I forgot to add is that in terms of trying to get them apart he said the company has experimented around with various compounds to try and "lube" the connector so it separates just a little easier. He said that the only thing they found that did help that didnt also attract dirt...
I mean dont get me wrong guys the XT90s and the EC5s are still great connectors even if what Deans told me is technically true. If you're already using them then just keep using them. I guess I was mostly posting this to hopefully let Deans users (like myself) know that they could be just as up...
So this thread is about more than just the new Deans connector coming out in about a week but I'll touch on that later.
The whole conversation about which connectors to use on big 1/5 scale stuff got me wondering what I was going to do in the event that Deans werent up the the task. I fired up...
