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.
I don't know man, I think you need to use that Testers in a little bigger room!

Um, you do know they are both rated for the same amperage, right?
Also, if you measure the contact on the TRXs is larger then the one on the Deans, but the Deans use both sides of the contact which works out to be about the same size as the TRX, so in reality they should both melt at the same time.
