LMAO - I didn't mean the plastic connectors - I meant the actual metal contacts - the male has the metal with the holes for the female's metal contacts to go inside.
It's so confusing. Male on the outside, female on the inside......

I see what your saying! Just wanted to get that joke in that’s all

If you can solder - just convert to deans and be done with it

On rare occasions you might need dean/tamiya converter

Just knock one or two up yourself from old lopped off ends

Though converters are fine to use different bits together

You will still suffer the resistance as you still using tamiya

throughout the wiring loom, these joints is where resistance

and/or warmth/heat may occur (like all joints in loom)

If you can't solder, ask a m8 who can

just cut-solder one lead at a time on batteries - especially lipo's

they pack one heck of a wallop if you short or cut both wires at same time

(clean underwear will likely be required after experiencing a lipo short)

Replacing small tamiya with deans outright is best

Even Mr T agrees.....
