    What are Traxxas "ID" and Spektrum "Smart" connectors? Explained...

    The spektrum connectors are either called IC3 or IC5 depending on the size of the connectors. The more powerful applications like kits that run off of 6 or 8 cell lipos are gonna use IC5 connectors and smaller less powerful setups would use the smaller IC3 connector. The Traxxas set up is going...

    This is good to know! I thought that the telemetry (or most of it) would still work, I just didnt know if it would affect battery readings and what not. If I had it to do all over again Id probably go with XT60 myself but I've got tons of deans connectors on everything and I've got tons of...

    Adapters are fine. Theyre even better if you can make them in such a way so theres no wire between the connectors. In other words solder two different connectors directly together.

    Not sure I understand the question Yeah, The idea has merit but only if all the brands get on board and standardize the connector.

    Yeah, Traxxas chargers while not bad arent exactly great either at least in terms of being powerful. Their LiPos are good but overpriced imo.

    The Traxxas ID connector is also backward compatible with the old Traxxas connectors. The problem comes in trying to charge lipos with those ID/IC connectors. Traxxas does make an adapter I found out that will allow you to charge ID connector packs with a standard balance charger. I'm assuming...

    Ok, so I'm going to preface this information by saying that both of these systems are new since I've been away from the hobby. I recently had to give a cursory look at both of these as not only did I not know what the Spektrum Smart system was when I first came across it online but I've recently...
