I know that you will say they are a tight fit and will not slip and I would not disagree but my brain wants to know they are positively locked. I even run a zip tie through my Deans connectors in my Powersafe RX just for added piece of mind.
In r/c peace of mind is extremely important, if this works for you keep shamelessy tieing those deans!
I like the MPX´s because they are more robust than the tipical r/c gear and also more convenient..I am also very confident of them because of after many cycles of plugging and unplugging they keep tight even after they are rough handled /fuel contaminated (kerosene) /UV exposure,etc. They just keep working years and years, without any issues.
