![]() There's been a space in the market for a reasonably priced high amp gendered connector for a while now, looks like the market finally responded.
From what I can figure out somebody in china made these, right now they sell for around $4-$5 per set but I'm sure HK will have them cheaper soon enough. |

![]() whats the amp ratings on this ones , looks as you have the housing throw the wire before soldering , and maybe the hole is for easier soldering

![]() I like EC style connectors, I have not had and trouble with them. I have been going back and forth on which connector to use for super high current application. I want idiot-proof, like EC5.
I have now ordered Castle 6.5mm connectors, hopefully I will like them. 8mm even sound a bit to much, but it's very nice we now have an 8mm fully keyed connector.

EC8's have the females on one side and the males on the other and have specific ESC and battery side housings that are keyed so they can only be inserted one way. |

![]() I personally can't abide the Castle 6.5 connectors. I love their ESCs but the connectors suck. you have to spend way to much time fiddling with the "procedure" they suggest to snug them in, connect disconnect them....I mean don't we have enough to think about without dicking around with a connector. Not to mention the leads are far to close together for my comfort. I don't care about your terms for conductivity and you used to use wax paper between your wires and you never had any problems....If you look at one of those connectors the metal between the two leads is so close you'd need a micrometer to measure it. As opposed to EC 5s where there is a logical distance between conductivity. XT 90s are fairly decent. Just stay away from the Castles. Unless you like to waste time bending tiny metal connectors back and forth. EC 5s should work for most apps.

![]() I can't imagine many users requiring 8mm bullet connectors.

![]() I think an ec4 sized between the 3 and 5 would be a good seller.

![]() Stuck with the same problem as Linus, speed helicopters and minimum space on the inside of fuselages, so I went with bullets. RCProplus 8mm bullets fit the bill perfectly. Easy to solder and super easy to wire up so that they fit inside the tight fuselages.

![]() I've been using them for years w/o issue. Just build the adjustment tool and use a lubricant on the contacts. Once properly adjusted they do not require frequent readjustment.

![]() You'd think that Amass or sombody would have seen the demand for a reasonably priced "foolproof" 6mm connector and filled that space in the market. It seems like such an obvious thing, just scale up the EC5 to 6mm and yet nobody has done it yet.
