Lipo batteries and Deans connectors
Do any of you who run Lipos have deans connectors on them? If so, is there a significant effect?
I'm sorry, was that your face?!
I run Deans connectors on all my batteries, LiPo and NiMh. Easier to connect in the field, takes less space in my battery compartment and from what I understand, improved/greater current flow.
I have always acted in self defense, occasionally pre-emptive self defense.
Agreed. I very much dislike assembling a tamiya.
I'm sorry, was that your face?!
Besides improved current flow, how much of an increase in ROF do you see from a 11.1 v lipo because the ROF is already pretty high?
impossible is nothing
By switchin plugs none just more reliability, easier to use, better connection. By switching to an 11.1 lipo? your going to see tons of difference in the rof. If you already have a high speed set up(gears, motor) I wouldnt recomend using an 11.1 I'd recomend using a 7.4
They are nice, from my understanding the wider connection give you less resistance and that equals better current flow. Keep in mind im not an egineer.
Where is a good source of dean type batteries? I need a 9.6 with a deans connector.
You dont really get the batteries with deans, you buy them for about 1 buck then put them on or have a hobby shop do it. Aex sells them and does it I think.
I mixed up deans with mosfet wiring. And ive been running 11.1 for a while now with no signs of wear after putting in high speed gears and a polycarb piston into my KWA. I was just curious if a switch over to deans is worth it?
impossible is nothing
hell yes it is worth changing over the headaches and long term wear and tear on the connector alone is worth it.
About once a year this topic pops up.

Great metaphor, makes way more sense now. Im going to switch over to deans for sure and MOSFET shortly. Im using a KWA CQB mostly stock and want to keep fps as close to 350 as possible and am satisfied with the stock motor as it is right now but i want to make sure I keep the wear and tear down as much as possible. Thanks for the insight!

how much would aex or a hobby shop charge for putting on the deans if you already have the plugs? and how hard is it to do it yourself? Where do you get MOSFET?

They're much better than tamiya plugs.I used to melt them suckers together when I first started racing rc cars back in the day.
if ytou know how to solder then putting them on is EASY if not then ya most of your hobby shops should be able to do it for you. but before you bring in your gun ask them and let them know what it is for. some places might not like having a gun in their store

i heard that deans increase trigger response. Is that true?

Just another response to say go Deans. I use deans on large model aircraft where I'm pumping 112 AMPS at 50 volts. Airsoft guns are not a challenge for Deans connectors. They are easy to handle but do require a little soldering knowledge. Just get a set of those soldering helping hands with the alligator clips and go to town. It's super easy to do.
