Re: Minibot Battery connector changes?

Actually it the Tamiya type connectors used on the batteries are notorious for being the sources of arcs, and poor connections- Common RC practice it to replace them with powerpoles (which are heavier I beleive) but better, or Deans- which are lighter- Also less volatge loss across the connector, but neither as good as direct soldering....
