Ha! might as well use tamiya plugs. TRX plugs suck... I have melted a few together using 4cell lipos. Never melted a deans plug. Whoever said they were having trouble pulling the deans plugs apart... That happens when you heat them up too much with a soldering iron, it causes the blade to move slightly, then bind when you connect them. That is the ONLY flaw I have discovered using deans. I used to run EC3 plugs, but barely any hobby shops stock them.. and I always managed to lose the damn brass inserts.
