This was kind of discussed in a different thread involving my Kraton 8S but I wanted to make a separate thread about running Deans on 8S and whether or not they will hold up under high current.
Last night I got one run in on my Kraton 8S using Deans connectors. I did notice they were a bit warmer than the EC5/IC5 plugs that are on it now but they did not suffer any damage from it yet. The Deans connectors were about the same temp as the 12AWG maybe a tad warmer. These are generic Deans too btw so even if one of these does fail I have plans to go all original Deans on the kit and see how they hold up in comparison. I will make updates here as I can. Waiting for my 4S lipos to arrive.
