Knock off deans ?

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Well some of you know i bought some deans off ebay. $5 for 20 sets of deans. 43 days went buy, nothing showed up, so i filed a dispute and got my refund. It took 67 days to get here from Hong Kong (showed up this morning). I was looking at them and they actually look cheap (no offence), and they don't look as red as they should. Just wondering if i should solder these ones on or go buy a set from the LHS ($10 for 4 sets).

Thanks

well i can only say what i would do,and that is if i was in serious doubt about them i think i would just grab some more from somewere else,there not all that expensive but it could end up being expensive if it fries something.....

The ones i got from hobby king have been tested by members on different forums so i think the ones from hobbyking are safe since they are made of Nylon instead of just cheap plastic. But i don't know what company you got them from.

The ones i bought are not there anymore.
But here is the same kind

I am with frddyj on this one. If you aren't in a huge hurry and would rather save a dollar or three, you can order then at HeliBuy, $10.99 for 10 pairs. Mine came to $14.68 with shipping from Hong Kong.
If you have to order locally, then amain has the best price in the states that I have found. eBay will get you for $7 - $9 per pair for the exact same connector.
Also, hobbyking has them for $1.29 per pair, but their shipping seems to be a little higher. Again, you will be waiting a couple of weeks+ for them to arrive from Singapore though.

If your a Harley guy you might uke: but in a few months Harley's will be assembled in India and the parts will be made in China. No more all American motor cycle -.-'
