Wildstang hasn't used those connectors in years. We have a chart hanging in our shop that someone made a while back that graphs the losses through a few different connectors, and the loss in those red connectors in the kit are unbelieveable! We instead use Powerlock connectors which have much, much lower loss and are otherwise very similar. I believe they're also rated for more amps, but I could be wrong on that.

We've also never had a problem with the powerlocks coming apart. We don't use zipties or velcro or anything like that. I'd recommend them to anyone who's having problems with the kit provided type.
