looking at the tamiya connectors on the original battery they only allow a 10 amp draw so i was wondering if it is legal to use deans in their place?

If you are not certain if <R92> covers it, I'd ask the GDC formally. My guess is that they will say no.

I hope they can be used. They are a much better connector.

The current rating is a maximum continuous current draw. You won't be running it for hours at a time, most likely only a few seconds, so that shouldn't be a concern. There may be other reasons to choose another connector, however.
