Traxxas connector are super hard to solider on but it's the best to learn how to solider just my opinion and tamiya was the first connector and I wouldn't use high power lipo batteries to tamiya only used for NiCa batteries then you get Dean's connector that are easy to solider and can handle lipo then you got traxxas connector that aren't easy to solider but can handle higher voltage like 2s and 3s then you got EC5 and EC3 that can handle 3s to 6s lipo I been in this hobby way to long I haven't used XT60 connector because none of the companies that I have models from use them
I am an experienced hobbyist but i couldn't get my friend to understand these connectors very well. He seems to get it after your explanation though. thx :)
Yes, they are. But so are EC's and XT's. Deans are still a pretty good plug, and I used them for years, but I really like the XT60's for smaller cars, and XT90's for my 1/8 cars. Easier to solder, they last a long time, and cheap! Also, if you get the Amass version of the plugs, they come with a terminal cover, so no heat shrink is needed. They make the plug a bit bigger, but it also makes a very clean install.
What jst 2 pin is commonly used on RC led lights used in RC light kits I wanna buy some to use on lights I have without the connector to use in my light kit
@@jerryshobbies8224 thank you would you know anyway I could find out I've been asking around and your my 1st reply I've gotten even tho you didn't know I thank you for responding back to me
@@jerryshobbies8224 I'm actually talking about the white jst on the end of the lights that are used to plug into the light controller their sizes are 1.25mm 1.50mm 2.0mm I don't have my kit yet it's on its way having it here would be more helpful but I thank you anyways
Hi, thanks for the info, good points!! A question, the reasons applied to XT60, do they apply to XT90? Is XT90 just a bigger version of XT60 allowing more current/power to through?
@@jerryshobbies8224 hey sorry to jump in here but i think u might b the only one that can help me. i bought a ebike conversion kit. the connector on my 36v 15 ah ebike battery does not match my ys60 controller connector. ive looked all over amazon for a ys 60. nothing. only xt60 xt90s. no ebike videos have any help for me. then i found rc videos u guys use the same connectors. would you mind givin me some advice? please and thanknyou
@@jerryshobbies8224 hey thank u for responding this has been frustrating. so its a 36 v 500 w direct drive front hub motor my battery is a 36 v 15ah lithium ion battery. the controller box is a dc36/48v current 22+1a . so i am thinking yes i need to just cur and solder a matching connector. my concerns are. one i have never soldered anything but i ordered a soldering kit from amazon just now. ill watch videos on the how toos. now the battery has the xt90 connector and the controller has the sy60. which one should be cut?
@@Oldmanlearns718 500w@48v is about 10 amps, fine for the xt60. But the battery already has xt90, so I'd use those. Also, I'd change the controller first, because there is less to go wrong. Practice on a scrap of spare wire and extra plug a few times. Soldering is not hard, but a little practice goes a long way. Plug a Male and female plug together when you solder, this will help keep you from melting the plastic on the plug. Good luck!
I bought a 12 pack of Chinese dean's connectors off of wish. I did a melting test and the knock off connectors had a way higher melting point by far. And it was a pack with 12 male and 12 female for $3.00 us my local hobby shop wanted $6.00 for 4 male or female ends, Not Both!!! Ridiculous
yeah hobby shops are rip offs,kills me when guys say"I support my local hobby shop",these type of guys must not mind spending 3-4 times the amount of money at these hobby shops compared to online buying ie e bay ,amazon,wish and so on, i said it before an i will say again, hobby shops suck,they are rip offs,no wonder hobby shops are going under,i say they made their own bed, now they got to sleep in it.The lesson is these shops should not have been so greedy charging 2-3 times the money they should have,and that is why i buy all my rc stuff on line.
Of course hobby stores are more expensive as they have to pay for shipping and handling. I went to a hobby store that sold me a balance board for 5 bucks when they were sold everywhere for 10 bucks. This is in AUD not usd
I support my local hobbies store but I still shop online to but I race for my local hobbies store and work part-time there to but I use Adopted so I don't void Warranty
I am making rc car with electric motors. Each motor is connected to a wheel so every wheel have a separate motor. So when i connect the 4 motors together to get same power how would i connect them in which order.
@@stanleyx436 google "series vs parallel electrical connections " basically, parallel you tie all the + together, and all the - together. All motors get an equal share of power, and spin the same speed. Series, you string them together like Christmas lights, + to -. This way, the 1st motor gets the most power, the second a bit less, the third a bit less, the 4th a bit less. No good for motor in every wheel, your car will go in circles.
jerry g wow you answered very fast never happend to me. Well my connectors melted togeter so what type of connectors would you recommend for light bashing😀
K3V1N_ KsOn - Dean's are great for 1/10, and easy to get bats and esc with them. Currently all my 1/10 and smaller run XT60 plugs. Better than Dean's, but not as common, so you must solder sometimes.
Great video. Nice discussion of pros and cons for each type.
Great presentation.

Thanks for the vid... cleared up a few questions for me.
Very nice informative.👍
Hey mate what's the black Chinese conector called I need one to make new conector
Nice thing about Deans is they're easily re-usable.
Yes, they are. But so are EC's and XT's. Deans are still a pretty good plug, and I used them for years, but I really like the XT60's for smaller cars, and XT90's for my 1/8 cars.

Dude, are you paid by Deans? You have posted this on every RC connector video on TH-cam! XD
Deans plugs taking more current than EC3, i dont think so.
What jst 2 pin is commonly used on RC led lights used in RC light kits I wanna buy some to use on lights I have without the connector to use in my light kit
I don't use LEDs. Sorry.

@@Oldmanlearns718 what is the watt rating on the motor? If it were me, I would just cut off the odd connector and solder on a XT60 or xt90.

Thanks, great video! sorry if this sounds stupid but really new to all this, would the ec2 work for a 1:18 scale rc buggy
Joseph Blease - probably. Ec2 is 30a? Most of those liion batteries max out at about 20a or so.
Ok, Thanks.
Hello what s the name of the black connector on the batterie ?
kiki coucou - I don't know. I swapped it for EC3 right away.

Devon Kunkel - there are some good knock off t-plugs, and some bad ones. If have a source of known good ones, then use them! =)

I am making rc car with electric motors. Each motor is connected to a wheel so every wheel have a separate motor. So when i connect the 4 motors together to get same power how would i connect them in which order.
For brushed motors, you connect them parallel. For brushless you need 4 esc, one for each motor.
@@jerryshobbies8224 yeah they are brushed motors but how to connect them in parallel ? Thanks for the reply ❤
@@jerryshobbies8224can you recommend the best way to connect them and is there better way to connect them to generate more power?

@@jerryshobbies8224 thank you for your help❤
hey what would cause my xt60 connection to spark/burn when plugging in battery?
DomPeish is the esc switched on? that will make a spark. also, if you have a capacitor pack, it will start to charge right away, causing a spark.
Get anti spark xt60s
So can i take the plug off my charger and change it?
For most batteries, yes. If it is a lithium battery, Dont change the balance plug- that is the one with 3 or more wires.
@@jerryshobbies8224 its a Nimh charger. So then it alright the change the chargers plug
@@epixwheelz5515 yup, should be fine.
what is the plug name for gptoys s911
niss nis - that one is an oddball. I don't know the name.
3:36 plug name?
SDYREX it looks like a Tamiya / Molex plug, but is a smaller size. Maybe search for mini-molex or mini-tamiya.
Bro can u make a small video , I want to learn from u but in a short time !
No SM-P2 or SM--P3 Connectors.
Ok, so what are those? Google gives me various Pyranometers, not power plugs. Link?
I think he is referring to JST standards.
Burnt out my tamiyia connector
K3V1N_ KsOn, yup I've burned a lot of the tamiya connections before I gave up on them.
