So the plug on the esc that connects to the battery broke on my sons wraith. I'm not sure what the technical name for this plug is and can't seem to find one for sale anywhere. I'd hate to buy a new ESC over a plug...any hints?

Re: Name this plug!

Deans
Traxxas
Molex
Tamiya
Jst
Are all standard connections used on rc....

Re: Name this plug!

If it is an RTR ESC (AE-2), then it should have a Molex (Tamiya)-style plug (white plastic). You can get another to install, just need to solder it on (if you get one with leads already attached).

If you have soldering skills (or know someone who does), this would be a great opportunity to upgrade the plug to something better. Those Tamiya plugs have a lot of loss, and cannot handle that much current, going to a Deans, TX-60, or other high-current plug would allow you to put more power through the RC, and increase reliability of the plug. Of course you would have to put matching plugs on your batteries and charger.
