Great Test! Very informative. Would love to see the same test on other standard RC connecters. I'd specifically love to see Amass XT150 and AS150 but I'm sure many others would like to see some more common connectors such as XT90, EC5, XT60, XT30 & Deans.
Hello Fellow BBI FANS AND FRIENDS: MR. LUKE, thank you for another scientific video. This video accurately depicts the results of the ULTIMATE RELIABILITY TEST. 1) CONNECTOR PASSED TEST. 2) THE CONNECTING WIRES DIDN'T DO WELL ALSO THE SOLDER CONNECTIONS RELIQUIDFIED == OOPS. As always Luke my best to you & your family, TMP, Unit 22 from N.J.😊😊
Should have used 6AWG(which mostly fits in a QS8) or maybe even 4AWG and just trimmed the strands that don’t fit in the connector’s solder cups. The purpose of the test was to test the connector and as far as I’m concerned all that was tested is the 8AWG wire. The heat from the wire is what desoldered the connector, not the heat made from the connector’s internal resistance.
Awesome vid,I'd really like it tested with 1/0 from charger,he sells badass weld/power wire!!,yeah 8 awg is rated like 60/80amps I think,but it was cool for rc,cb need bigger connector and wire,but good science ex,c ya
XT90 is actually interchangeable and fits these connectors.. Same size/design and now with the Q8 V2 they have 600A burst vs 300A for the V1. But still XT90 is only like 150A or something, maybe less honestly. I was suprised because an XT60 is obviously lower than that, even the newer XT60H.
Cool test BUT…the 8awg wires in the test are several times longer than in our rc vehicles…granted qs8 plug is tough, but the away wire lengths/leads you used in the test in no way represent how short we use them in our boats and cars…
Also having shorter wires will reduce resistance. Resistance in wires reduces proportionately to wire length.The long wires you used here in both scenarios is the likely bottleneck. I think it would be a good idea to retest this scenario with wires below 3 inches in length.
