Default 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.

Exactly what Frdtrkguy said, but you best change out to something like Dean's plugs asap...that battery stands a good chance of melting the Tamiya plug that comes on the RTR ESC.

Researching Dean's plugs now. I'm coming over from Traxxas Revos and a lot of this is greek to me.

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!

I've never seen a metled Deans.... What were you doing?

I like the Traxxas design but they are fawkin huge! I used them for awhile and then went back to Deans.

I'd have to guess a larger heli! I use Deans, have thought about traxxas but why change something that is working fine for me...

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.
