Bad Company / Ted Nugent, late 90's?, North Charleston, SC

Of course. They have probably played it at almost every concert since 1974.

do they still play?

do they still play?

They are not active at the moment, but were touring off and on up to this past October.

When I saw them, Paul Rodgers was not with them, so I don't consider that show the "real" Bad Company.

Advantages of deans connectors over regular tamiya?

[SteevoLS]

They don't suck.

[Romba]

I knew you would be first to chime in Steevo. Can you be more specific??

[SteevoLS]

Hehe, I'll try not to be so brief in the future.

Serious mode:

Tamiyas:
- Poor conductivity
- Not rated for high amperage (these things can and do melt together when used in high powered setups)
- Crappy build (tabs tend to break off, meaning they don't lock together securely)
- Arcin' and sparkin'!

Deans:
+ Excellent conductivity (simply moving from Tamiyas to Deans will up your rate of fire by 1 or 2 RPS)
+ Rated for very high powered setups
+ Good, solid connection... no arcing or sparking
- Kind of a pain to solder, not uncommon to see them pop off the wires if the soldering joint is a little cold.
- Gay because Severed uses them

XT60s:
+ Cheaper than Deans
+ Just as well built as Deans
+ Easier to solder than Deans
+ Essentially two low resistance bullet connectors in a cage
- Slightly bigger than Deans (only a little bit though)
+ Mad gucci because I use them.

[Romba]

SO XT60s are better... ANYONE GOT SOME LYING AROUND TO GIVE ME?

[SteevoLS]

I know Sev has some, I have some, and Dom has some. I won't GIVE them to you, but they aren't exactly expensive. How many do you need? (How many batteries and guns do you have?)

[Romba]

Well..... My KWA will be at my door in a matter of hours, and I have a 9.6v that I just bought for it. My G36 will either be sold or be used as my backup... So I suppose I would need connectors for my KWA, my 9.6 and my 8.4. That would leave one 8.4 for my G36.

[Romba]

Would also need someone to install them....

[severed]

gay because I use them or because you can't solder for isht and always end up with cold connections?

Mad Gucci because only only a few people use them? On;y a few people run spring pistols but that doesn't make them Gucci... Besides look at my title, I'll be the judge of what is and isn't Gucci

I have 10 pair of XT60's that will sit in my toolbox because changing over would take forever and really not give me any benefit what so ever. bottom line, very comparable when speaking of resistance, if you have 1 or the other on your guns there's no real benefit to switching OTHER THAN... more people run Deans, so if your battery goes down it's easier to find one to borrow running Deans. Another solution, make up a ton of adapters and you can run anything.

[Romba]

Hmm, sev makes a good point.
ANYONE HAVE SOME DEANS THEY WANT TO SELL OR GIVE ME?

[Jon The Student]

What exactly is in Spice or K2?
