Hi, i just purchased a CC Monster Mamba Combo 2200kv and several Lipo packs. My question is this: Is it better to use deans connectors on the battery ends or can i use these bullet connectors? i like the look of the bullet connectors and would rather use them, but i do not know if they are able to be used on the end of the battery. I am new to Brushless setups. Anyone have any pics of a Bullet Connector only setup? Thanks
 
If you're running 2 2s packs then Deans Ultra Connectors are the go, but if you're planning to run 4s packs, then I run bullet connectors.
6.5mm gold bullets are what I run to ensure no current loss or restriction.

5.5mm are good too, but try and make them good quality gold,

Of course make sure the battery connections are the FEMALE connectors, and the speedie cables are the male. Otherwise BOOM, no lipo, car or hands.
:hehe:
 
Is there a pic of what this will all look like? I will only be running 4s and 5s in my Truggy. So the Female connectors go on the Battery and the Male on the ESC?

It doesn't matter what connectors you use, the female ALWAYS goes on the battery wires. That way there is no exposed live power to short.
Just solder them on and connect away.
Be sure to buy some of the clear plastic insulators to slide over the wires too.
You can use heatshrink too but on the connectors themselves the insulators serve a dual purpose.
They insulate and help to hold the connectors together.
Not that the Castle ones will come apart but its just extra insurance.
