Funny story, Very first LiPo I ever bought that i had to change connectors on was a 6S pack and I cut both wires at teh same time! I dont even know what I was thinking lol. Needless to say I about crapped my pants. It took a chunk out of my dykes and ruined a brand new 6S packs. Live and learn lol.
If you're going to use them for speedruns Id put an oversized connector like an EC8 or XT120 for less resistance. Youd have to make adapters for them to run them in your crawler but that wont hurt anything since crawlers are low power applications anyway.
10AWG on a Deans is easy mode as long as you have a good 60W soldering station and a nice wide tip. No flux needed although it never hurts. 8AWG is a bit harder but doable. You need a 6.5mm T19-D65 Hakko tip (thats what I use) on a quality 60W station @750-780F to do 8AWG.
