As above...

sounds like you are pulling too much power through the connectors and the insulator block (plug) is melting.

If you are new to the hobby then swap to Deans type connectors as they are easier to use without frying electrics from connecting wrong way round.

hope this helps :thumbsup:

Corally Tubes are good, but they can be connected up the wrong way, in a rush!
Deans are good as well, but you need to be careful with an iron, as you can stop them working if you don't make a clean job of it.

I use corally tubes (4mm) on my cars, without problems.

Hope this helps
