Just wanted to let everyone know about this. Astroflight makes a really nice connector that you can put between your ESC and brushless motor to swap motors fast. I put one on my Supersport so that I can switch between the 5800 and 4300 quickly without having to solder three leads in holes.

the price is high but heck if it works!!!!!!!!

Maxx Products sells some nice ones too (used by airplane guys), part #2856. They're like shorter versions of the "banana plug" type battery connector many people use and come 6 to a package (enough for 2 motors/ESCs) for around $7.00

WOW! That beats having to glue 2 Deans connectors together ! LOL I'll have to look at our LHS for those.

Or you can use PowerPoles (Semos). But they are kind of big and bulky.

I tryed that with speaker terminal male/females. It looses connection over bumps I wonder if this is reliable.

I have the two pole Astroflight connectors (for something else) and they fit pretty tight.

I use Powerpoles on all my motors and batteries. I have never had the loose connection over bumps. So far I have only run my brushless with the Powerpoles in one race, but it was fine.

I've been using the Maxx ones for a few weeks now with no problems. They fit together pretty tight.

Any chance you could post a pic of those things? There was no pic on the web site and I would like to have some idea of what they look like before spending money on them.

I haven't got a digital camera, but I found a couple pictures of them on Tower:

The 1st picture shows a motor with the connectors attached. The ones from Maxx come 6 to a package.

The Maxx ones look just like one ones in this pics from Tower?

Exactly the same. They're about 1/4" diameter (with heat shrink) and 3/4" long.

Hey, you don't have to solder the wire through the hole. Just solder it on the flat side. I switched a Neo One 3 star, SS 5800, and a Velociti 6.5 out one day several times checking temps and performance and they were easy to solder on and off (if you have a strong hot iron). Looks real neat also.
