Hi Miguel: Again thanks for the response. I agree that you get what you pay for. Now if I can just convince the wife to get the bal/charger for my birthday!! Any suggestions,wish me luck.
Reply to Miguel: I agree with your recommendation, and decided to switch to the XT60 plugs. Also looking at the Turnigy 420, balance/charger for $26.00, Yes or No? D V McC.
Hi Douglas. First, thanks for the like. About the charger, the TGY 420 looks very simple and hardy, but it doesn't persuades me very much, for that kind of money I like better the Hobbyking ECO SIX 80W 6A 2~6S Battery Balance Charger AC/DC w/PSU (Id: 9418000001), or IMAX B6 Charger/Discharger 1-6 Cells (GENUINE)(Id:IMAXB6) or Turnigy Accucel-6 50W 6A Balancer/Charge (Id: ACC6). I think these are more powerful and versatile, even more with the first you won't need to get a power supply.
Qs8006 Switching from Li/ion 1800 mAh batt pak to Turngy 2250mAh 4S 65C with XT60 plug. Question: Should I just purchase HK Male XT60 to Female deans (T) Connector OR cut off the XT60 plug and solder on the old T connector? Also the QS comes with cheap Balancer, any suggestions?
Isn't a good idea to cut the battery wires, better get the adapter or modify the speed controller connetion. In other hand, if you are sure this is your hobby, then is time to get a good balancer/charger.
Hi ALESSANDRO, you should consider switching for T to XT60. The main reasons being that the XT60:
1- can handle higher current - rated at 60 amps
2- much easier to solder - the pins have a concave design which holds the melted solder better, both pins are the same orientation so no need to turn over to solder the next tab
3- easier to connect a disconnect
These are just a few things that I have personally experienced. I have since changed out all my plugs or bought adapters.
Hi, I just bought my first HK plane, the F6F Hellcat and noticed that they don't use Dean Plugs. All of my batteries have Deans connectors and I want an adapter that will work. The Hellcat has bullet plugs - a male and a female whereas this adapter looks OK from the Deans side (ie. female) but has only male on the XT60 side. HELP! Is there something wrong with the battery connector on the Hellcat?

It is always better to sold a new connector compatible with your batteries. Instead of use adapters. Adapters add weight and also reduce a bit the power.
You need two adapter HXT 4mm to XT60 adapter and on that XT60 to T-coonector ( no HXT to T-connector in shop), but is better to solder you adapter to plane and have it directly connected.
i have Dean/T connector on my esc and i am looking for an adaptor to connect Dean/T to Turnigy bullet connetor on my turnigy battery. can someone please offer advice, cheers ben
