Battery connection

[ewbourne]

I'm coming back to the club and finishing my build and need battery connectors. What is everyone using. My build is a TA semi 1/10th. TIA

Most people use XT connectors now.
XT30/XT60/XT90

Depends on the amp draw but I suspect the 60 would be fine for you.

I personally like the connectors.

I mostly use bullets since I'm a racer but in some of my bashers its a mix of xt60, xt90 and ec5. Some of my mini cars which are lower power have deans.

Depending what power system you're running like brushed or brushless 2s/lower kv, xt60 should be plenty.

Deans, EC, and XT are all good connectors.

As I go forward, XT and bullets are what I want to use, buy and convert to.

XT60 and 90. Only need to use the bigger ones for insane power. QC or something like that.

Amass XT connectors for the simplicity of soldering/unsoldering and the caps add the final touch.
I also use 4mm & 5mm bullets with heatsink bullet plug grips...

...mainly because of shorty packs. The heatsinks are more for making the bullets easier to remove from battery pack. Your RC10 Semitruck is designed for using shorty packs.

Just like the plethora of imitation T-plugs out there, cheaper versions of XT connectors are out there as well.

Flux and real solder. With a quality iron. Or you're gunna have a bad time.

I hope we get to see the truck when you are done with it. Maybe do a RC Showcase on your build?
