looking to upgrade battery and wondering who knows what max current the traxxas connector can take.

I was wondering how much these can take as well.
I've been looking for the ratings for a while but cant find them.

They're supposed to be as good as Deans, which are good for 60 amps... so it's ok.

Fiegs

Is 60amps the max deans can take?
I need something that can handle a 5s li-po pack that puts out 300 amp bursts.
What plug should I use? I saw some Venom 5.5mm bullets that look pretty good.
I use deans on everything I have now but I dont know if they can handle the 5s li-po

If your going to choose a plug, I would take deans over Traxxas. Sure people say the Traxxas plugs are easier to work with, but I have small fingers and would rather have the looks of deans.

Yeah, they should be arround 60 amps.

The 60 amp rating on the deans, is constant. I have pulled at least 120amps in a 5s config with deans, in short bursts. if traxxas uses their connector on an esc that pulls 200 anp max rating, it should be good for almost anything

Try finding it on Molex, if you can it'll tell the current rating.

Ive heard deans are good up to 200a-250a bursts and 100a continious. The traxxas connectors should be near the same.

No, that is the fuse rating
(the fuse rating is the point at which the heat caused by the resistance of the conductor causes the conductor to melt)
And as anybody that has ever had to pry a Tamiya connector apart knows: the plastic will melt long before the actual conductor does.

Those are the burst amp ratings. Not actual continious amp ratings. I run traxxas and deans on my raven which has a vxl and a novak velocity 5.5r motor. I'd imagine that it pulls around 120-130a continious because of the amp demand of the vxl. The deans and the traxxas connector dont even get a little warm.

I use the traxxas connectors on my e-revo with 4S lipo and 9XL motor with no issues
