Only one way to find out
... I suspect that was a mistake.

That's a really nice feature. When I muse about what XT60 would look like without a heat shrink requirement, it would possible compromise the structural integrity of the connector, so I'm not sure if it can be refined in that direction...

It's an awkward situation for sure. It's weird that the Raptor FET comes with Tamiya, since it's pretty much a given that most users of Raptors will be using high discharge batteries, and it's really surprising that Hobby King sells even its 11.1V "airsoft" batteries with Tamiya. What gives?

Another nice thing here is that the half-pipe "scoop" that you drop is 180 degrees away from its opposing polarity. The closeness of the opposite polarity connector in Deans, along with the awkwardness of them being 90 degrees opposed, has caused quite a few mistakes for me during soldering. With XT60 I just solder, 180 flip, solder. Easy.
