| Wraith battery connector
Noob here, just ordered a Wraith RTR as my first electric rc. Can somebody link me the exact connector I will need for my battery to be able to plug right into the factory Wraith harness? Will be using this battery HobbyKing R/C Hobby Store : Turnigy nano-tech 4500mah 2S 35~70C Lipo Pack (USA Warehouse) I've read till my head hurts and I think it's tamiya female but I can use any help, advice or sarcasm. |

| Re: Wraith battery connector After melting 2 deans (Not on any crawler stuff!), I have switched all my cars to Traxxas connectors. No issues yet! But yes OP, the above was correct, you need the Tamiya Female for your battery if you are not changing the ESC connector, but I would suggest you do!

Another vote for the Traxxas connector!

| Re: Wraith battery connector 12 cell NIMH Mamba Max in a Slash a few years back. You'd never have this issue in any Crawler set-up, deans would be more than fine, plus like you said, much smaller, easier to route. I just put my Castle BEC in my Wraith by soldering it into an extension with a male TRX on one end, and a female TRX on the other, and changed out the ESC to a TRX male at the same time. It would have been easier to route the Deans through that small hole in the lexan at the front!

I threw a nimh with the tamiya connector in to get me running and Deans is now high on the to-do list. Keep losing connection at the connector, it's definitely junk.
