This year, on our team we are making it mandatory that all wires be soldered to the terminals ( yes,
ALL connectors) But since you cant get good access on the female spade terminals, we will use uninsulated ones and put heatshrink all the way down the connector.
For the past two years, we have had wiring trouble be it victors melting down, or battery terminals that weren't crimped, just taped ( yes just taped
) that will not happen this year.
We even purchased a 100/140 W soldering gun and a 40w soldering station, so no excuses for them this year. I might solder the battery lugs on with a propane torch myself though.
