Can anyone advise on this, are the conections the same as any othere, ie JR? as it seems there cheaper when you avoid rc car sites!

I got my IB LIPO from RC Mushroom, cheap as chips

Make sure you check the polarity on the battery, even if they say its for a Helios, the power wires may need reversing as I found out one day, blew the radio switch apart! you can check this by just opening the radio case near the connector and have a quick look to see which way they go round, I have had 2 lipos for my radio and both have been the wrong way round.
