Hello all, I know it’s been a very long time! I just dusted off a few of my RC’s since buying my now 12 year old a Traxxas 1/16 Revo (VXL brushless). All my old batteries are puffed so I have been looking to buy some new Lipo’s. I just realized that Traxxas has stopped selling their soldered connectors! What are my options? Just bought a Lipo for my son’s Revo (non Traxxas battery). Am I stuck having to buy just Traxxas batteries or is there a reliable alternative soldered connector?
Thanks in advance,
Mike.

Do you want to keep using the Traxxas connectors?
There are imitations on the market for them.
You could go for XT60 or Castle plugs, polarized or not.
I think I will invest in some Castle polarized plugs in the future.

If you want original Traxxas ones I think Ebay may be your best chance?
There are loads of aftermarket ones, I do not think you will notice much difference in normal loads?

Yes. I just bought some knock-offs. Just wasn’t sure if they were worth my time. What do most people use nowadays? I’m going with “Traxxas connectors because that is what I have on all my cars. Thanks for the reply!
Mike.
