Connectors for 8 AWG Lipo?
I just bought my first 'big' battery for an EDF. When I look at the #8 wire, the Dean connectors I've used on small batteries hardly seem adequate. What do you guys recommend for running 2 - 5000mah 5's in series on a 100 amp ESC? Bill

You could use something like this, insulated of course.

On the lower amp set ups with 8 gauge wire and using a Deans, I tin the wire first, then take my Dremel cut off wheel and cut a slice in the end of the wire. This slips over the tab on the Deans, then hit it with my 40 watt solder pen. Works quite well.
