IC5 to XT60. Adapter or not?

[biggman100]

I bought an Arrma BLX100 that has an IC5 connector. The first time i ran it, i borrowed a battery with an EC5 connector, but, all of my batteries and vehicles have XT60, so, since i only run 5000MAH 50C 2S, 5200MAH 70C 2S, and 4000MAH 70C 3S batteries, can i just use an adapter to go from XT60 to IC5, or do i need to convert all my batteries and vehicles to IC5?

You can use an adapter, make sure it has a wire in it and it isn’t one of those wireless ones. If possible, you can get a LiPo specifically for that ESC. You could also change the esc connector to xt60.

If i swap to an XT60, will it affect the part i circled in black in the pic at all?

No. You can put whatever connector you want on there. Just unsolder the old one and put a new one on.

Hopefully the other one i ordered gets here by Friday, so i can have the connectors changed on both of them this weekend. They are overkill in my opinion for the motors they are gonna be paired with, but, why not.

Just make sure you buy Amass brand connectors. All the others I have tried have been

Actually, i dont know what the shop i found uses. I dont solder, and, since the shop where i live closed years ago, there is only one person who does it, and he is a major ripoff ($45 an hour, and whether it takes him 5 minutes or an hour, it is still $45). Recently, i was out of town visiting my GF's family, got bored, and was just driving around and found a shop, and he charges $7 if he supplies the connectors, so since i have to go up there again Saturday, i will just have him do it instead. Since I'm nowhere near close to him, he also said if i mailed what i needed done to him, it would cost me $7 plus return shipping. Doing it that way, i can do 3 or 4 things for the price the local guy charges, once you factor in shipping.
