Trying to ease your mind on a non-existant problem (well as much as how your car engine could explode... yes it could happen... but what are the chances?).
Those new plugs look nice, but i am not a fan of looking for solutions to non-existant problems. Deans have been working great for everyone i know for years.
I think the saying goes ''if it ain't broken, don't fix it''.
Now if you are going to try out new stuff, please do write a review, it's always good to hear from fellow tankers and new options.

You guys are focusing in too much on the fact I made a statement about bare conductors being around circuit boards. If you feel the hazard is low and want to discount the fact then that is fine. That still doesn't take away the fact that this is a new design that provides a nice tight connection clearly identifying positive from negative, shields the conductors completely and separates easier then a Deans connector. I have Deans connectors, I use them, I know what they are all about. I am just bringing up the fact that these new(to me) connectors look very interesting and may be intersted in buying a bunch of these. I just threw it out there to see if anyone has any personal experience with these that they want to share.
A lot of people were calling out on deans being crappy. A quick research found that all of them were using cheap copies (wrong shade of red/plated material, loose connections, sensitive to hear, easy to chip/break, etc).
ALWAYS buy from a reputable dealer for parts like that or else you don't know what you are getting.

well I can say that if you are going to use XT60 connectors make sure you don't buy copies of an XT60.<div>I bought copies once and they were garbage, hated them they were so junkie</div><div>I bought some real XT60 connectors last night and they are pretty nice. </div><div>Can you believe that even small electrical connectors are copied with sub standard material? If not I have some proof they are.</div><div> </div>

Again don't focus on my one comment about the conductor plates being exposed, that was only one minor concern I have using Deans. I am not ruling out Deans because of this. Just pointed out there is a risk that the XT60 don't present. More importantly Deans don't take to structure mounting well. There are a couple of other things as well, but the purpose of this thread was not to bad mouth Deans, but just look at what other type of connectors are out there besides Tamiya.
Innovation requires looking beyond, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I am not bad mouthing Deans, I just want to try something different as both Tamiya and Deans don't quite fit my needs. IF you are happy with Deans then you are golden. For me , I am looking for something different.
