Dunno if I really should.Maybe IC5/EC5? A little fiddly to get the plugs to seat in the housing, but they solder really well, and fit 10ga wire no problem.
EC8s are a good alternative. I never ran them but they’re 8mm bullets, which is what counts.Since I can't use xt90s for the mamba, I looked into the xt150. I really don't like it being single plug by by style. Kinda want to keep it like a xt90 style. But open to ideas..
Edit. I think these will be ?

If you have a powerful soldering iron/gun the QS8’s are pretty easy to solder IMO.I'm thinking about it. And just making a harness for the other rcs. Like a qs8 to xt90. So I can run all of my rcs.. I guess I shall find a way to do this
Just got done soldering up a new MMX8S, Ripple Killer, and TP4070 using QS8, 6mm, and 8mm bullets. The QS8 are a little harder to solder than the bullets due to all the surrounding plastic. You really need to take your time or the red plastic deforms and good luck getting the wire cover in place after that red stuff oozes out.If you have a powerful soldering iron/gun the QS8’s are pretty easy to solder IMO.
I started converting most of my stuff over to them, even my no prep drag car now has one on it, with its tiny 12awg wires.
That’s where the 260w gun comes in handy, it’s so HOT! you get in and out quickly before starts melting.Just got done soldering up a new MMX8S, Ripple Killer, and TP4070 using QS8, 6mm, and 8mm bullets.

Yep I try to keep my heat at the top of the lug, away from the plastic as long as I can. I get some solder melted in the tall side of the cup. Get my tinned wire stuck to the tall side, then feed solder until the cup is full. Wait for it to cool and then pull the other side of the plug off (I always solder with the other side connected) and push the cover into place.That’s where the 260w gun comes in handy, it’s so HOT! you get in and out quickly before starts melting.
besides the solder of course…
Ose 8mm all the way!!Since I can't use xt90s for the mamba, I looked into the xt150. I really don't like it being single plug by by style. Kinda want to keep it like a xt90 style. But open to ideas..
