Team Exalt Adjustable Bullets with Heatsink Grip

New from Florida based Team Exalt are these 5mm Adjustable Bullets with Heatsink Grip.  The bullet connectors are designed to offer features that no connector on the market currently offers with an all new 3 piece design that allows for the best possible connection which is pivotal in 1:12 stock racing all the way to 1:8 scale racing.  At the top of the connector is a dual heatsink and hip design that not only keeps heat away, but gives a great place to easily remove and insert the connector.  Each set of connectors comes conveniently with one black and one pink connector, etched with the Exalt “X”, to easily identify positive and negative terminals.  Resistance was a major factor in the design of these new plugs.  Low resistance is necessary for more power in spec racing as well as to keep temperature down in 1:8 racing.  When these connectors are installed not only will you see more efficient current flow, you will see less temperature as well.  Once installed, these bullets have the ability to be tightened down with the use of a .050″ wrench.
