3.5mm short gold connectors for battery <> ESC connections up to 25A continuous (40A peak /10 seconds), 4mm long connectors for 20~60A
continuous (80A peak/10 seconds), and 6mm short connectors for 40A~80A continuous, (110A peak /10 seconds). It is always well to keep the
wires between Battery and Speed Controller (ESC) as short as possible [they should never be made longer than as supplied by maker - if necessar
add length to wires between Motor and ESC instead]. For packs which will always be paired in Series in your model, we recommend that you cut
short the RED wire on one pack and the BLACK wire on the OTHER pack - just long enough that the two wires can be joined by a single Male/Female
pair of Bullet Connectors. The remaining longer RED wire should have a MALE connector attached*, and the remaining longer BLACK wire a
FEMALE connector. These two will connect to your ESC. In this way, you not only reduce the total length of battery<>ESC circuit, you also m
very clear which two leads get connected for Series (the short ones). BE SURE YOU NEVER SHORT THE TWO BATTERIES BY CONNECTING THEM
DIRECTLY TOGETHER! (it may sound silly, but can happen if you aren’t paying attention!)

connector on charger side (+) Output, because it is covered completely with shrink tubing. As such, it cannot short on the grounded (-) metal cas
