Those look like the Hobby City clones-not very good. Anyone got any real world experience?
Best clones I've found come from DonsRC.com. They do work, about 1/2 the "real" price. |

There was a guy at our filed with some of those and they would just fall out of the real deans plug. Barely made any contact at all. I wouldn't fly with them.

Might be a compatibility problem also. As long as you stay with ONE BRAND, maybe that'll work. Mixing might be where the trouble starts.

The real thing for me please. I like my planes too much to lose them over the cost of a cup of coffee. Sadly RC fliers are amongst the cheapest so-n-so's I know which is why junk like these knock-offs get into our parts boxes. |

I use both the 'real' Deans as well as the T plugs from UH with no compatability or fit problems. Just make sure you never over heat either type during soldering as this leads to failures every time.
Just my $0.02

well, a better deal is this; you can get either 10 SETS of deans connectors for $3.85 w/ free shipping, or even better, you can get 50 SETS of deans connectors for $16.62 and free shipping. Both f them include heat shrink
