Rich,
I have recently had this. The cause being I was using brand #1 male corally type plugs and brand #2 corally type tubes. Although they felt secure, I had the tubes desolder from my cells as the resistance was so HIGH.

I went to soldering cells for most of the winter.

Now, I have gone to the LRP silver connectors, and they work great. A real nice fit and look cool too. And since they are the only silver version, I won't be mixing/matching my connectors ever again.



Carl,
For the tiny advantage in reduced resistance in direct soldering, it is far outweighed in the huge disadvantage in that its a right freckin pain in the arse!!! Then when an ESC goes up in smoke... well... you'll find wire cutters aren't easy to find trackside.
