You certainly are at my track. That seems to be what most people run. I've never heard of there being a restriction on them anywhere.

never heard of any track not allowing them...they just give you zero loss voltage to your esc ...me i use sermos power poles..they are universal where deans are male and female

They do not give "zero" voltage drop. They just reduce the resistance ALOT!

even hard wiring wont give you zero there are things called super conductors that will give you 0ohms of resistance i dont know where to get any of this material but i know its really rare and expensive. and possibly a bit experemental

Meh, there will ALWAYS be SOME resistance, even if its tiny tiny tiny tiny!!

just to clarify, Dean's claims less resistance than an equal length of 12 AWG

I use deans, and race. MY friend hard wires everything. I think deans is almost as good as hard wire, just easier

superconducters need to be really cold. look at an mri machine-liquid nitrogen (i think)

Actually they have superconductors now with carbon in them that are superconductors at about 45F. They keep gettin higher and higher, pretty soon you will see carbon nano-tubes(super-conductive wires with a carbon/(some other element) in them)
