Hi

I have an ezrun esc which came with a Tamiya style connection.

My lipos as 30c 4400mah Vampire saddle pack which came with a charger/balancer lead where the connectors into the battery are gold bullet connectors with both the red and black wires to a Tamiya connector AND black only "in-series" wire to connect the 2 packs.

I know its not a good idea to use Tamiya connectors AND i know i prob shouldnt use the charger/balancer leads to connect the lipos to the esc to run the car.

As I am rubbish at elecs/soldering etc:

1. Is is possible to buy an already gold bullet connected black "in-series" wire
2. Is it possible to buy the red/black wires with gold bullet one end and Deans(?) the other end?
3. How hard is it to strip the Tamiya from the esc and re place with a Deans?
4. Or is it a better idea to replace the Tamiya on the esc with gold bullets and plug them striaght into the lipos?

Apols for length of post!:(

1&2 You could ask at your local model shop I'm sure they could make it up for you if they aren't a commercially available product.

3. Really easy.

4. Your best option, the less connectors the less resistance in the wiring.

If you aren't confident doing the soldering yourself ask at your club/model shop they will help you. It's worth practicing with some odd bits of wiring, soldering is fairly easy once you've had some practice.
