|  What battery connector does the Wraith use?
This may be a silly question, but I've been out of R/c since the year 2000, I come back and there's now a handfull of different battery connectors. Is it using a standard tamiya?

Electrically, the Traxxas are great, good surface and contact area, nice isolation id assembled properly and very easy to plug/unplug. When I came back to the sport I started with a Traxxas and ended up with a dozen batteries using them. The issue with them is not the use, it is the assembly. Compared to a Dean's they are a SOB to build while a deans is 2 small pieces of heat shrink and 2 quick solder joints. Based on the number of RCs i had and the number of batteries I use, the little difficulty in getting my fat fingers around Deans to separate them are well worth it. My $0.02 |

The Traxxas plugs are just too bulky. The deans are already big, I wouldn't want to try and mess with those Traxxas plugs in a scaler at all.
