I thought I may as well "go large or go home" on the ESC's and Aliexpress had these ones at a good price so I grabbed two.
No they are not bullet connectors, I don't like the bullet connectors either, so cut off the bullets and soldered on new Deans connectors, which worked very well.
Hope that helps mate

I'm a firm believer in the adage 'every day a school day'. None of us are too old to learn.
That's the good thing about forums like this - learning from each other. (Mainly me learning from you lot!!)

[Tworrs]

Yes Chris, I'm having some health issues atm so trying to sort that out.
I have a AAA which has reached critical mass, so am seeing specialists, had a CTA and saw the vascular surgeon this week to establish the way forward.
This has put a bit of a damper on my modelling mojo.
I have managed to add some railing to ID though, no pics.

Thanks Chris and Jen, I hope so too.

Unfortunately the surgeon has said it has to be the open surgery option to replace that section of the aorta with a synthetic one, so now I wait to hear when I can be fitted into their schedule.
C'est la vie

Haven't understood any of that other than vascular which I know can't be good. Positive thoughts sent to you buddy. Take it steady and just do what you have to do!
