Deans are excellent connectors. Some say they are as good as the Corally connectors ( The ones Gavin pointed to )
others say they come in second best to Corally.

I think it is a matter of choice for the use you will give them. Only in Top class racing would you probably find a difference.
Bottom line?
Go for them. 8)

cool , so is 3.5mm the right size?

4mm is the size that most people use.

For drifting the deans would be a better job.
