The biggest issue with them is their proprietary nature, when most of manufactures would use xt 90's or EC5's in this type of boat. There is nothing special about the traxxas plug that makes it better than those, just a way to get you to buy their batteries. Their prerogative, still not a fan
@MarksAultimateRC yes and no Yes it's a design to keep you in their system just like any company does. No because it makes it easy to plug and go across multiple platforms.
You have to shorten the heat shrink on these adapters a little bit at the trx plug side. Because the problem is, their to thick. It's a nice boat, have fun.
@@MarksAultimateRC . I get it. I live in FL boats are just life here. But I'm a Harley guy too so I visited the Harley museum there too once years back. 8 had a good time in Wisconsin.
I have no problem with the traxxas plugs. Work perfectly fine for me.

I did get some different connectors but will look at the Heat shrink on the ones I was trying to use. Thanks for the help!
Are there retractable wings. I didn't see them. Lol. Just kidding. Nice boat line they have .
Boats were actually my 1st foray into RC, but planes will always be #1
