Connectors?

[Stankfinger76]

I’m currently building a Tekno MT 410 kit. I plan on running a 4S battery with the motor/ESC setup I chose for it. I’m trying to decide which plugs/connectors to run. I’m deciding between the XT90 or the actual Deans brand plugs. I ran deans on my AE 18th scale Truggy with Lipo and brushless motor. Curious about ease of soldering with the XT90 also. The deans were pretty simple from what I remember. Thanks in advance.

Deans will only take 70 amps. the XT 90 will take 100 amps easy. the ease of soldering wires to the xt are as simple as a deans... I've been using the xt 90 for about 8 years now...never had a failure...

I appreciate the input. I think I’ll go with the XT90 connectors.

You may want to go with XT90S since your running 4S. The more volts there are, the more arcing there is. The XT90S have a resistor built into the battery side which suppresses the arcing.

@Stankfinger76 I'd recommend either the XT90 or EC5 connectors.

Anderson, and Deans had their time in the limelight. Now it's Amass XT connectors for the win ! The original EC5 connectors were my least favorite if you plan on reusing them . I used those darn blue things for a total of two ~ three weeks and tossed the ones I had used. Sold the rest.
