I heard the E-Maxx Tamiya connectors should be replaced with different connectors, such as Deans connectors. Is this necessary to do?

You do not have to replace the Tamiya connectors on the E-Maxx if you don’t want to! While many people believe the E-Maxx Tamiya connectors are extremely inefficient at delivering battery power to the speed control because of heat build-up within the connectors, this is not the case. “The E-Maxx’s twice the voltage, half the current power system doesn’t overtax its factory connectors. Will you gain some efficiency by replacing the stock connectors with aftermarket ones such as Deans? Probably, but you won’t notice much difference! (R/C Car Magazine, March 2001, page 41)!
