Default What size battery connector?

I just put XT60’s on my TRX4 but wondering if they would work on my Rock Rey. My Rock Rey is powered by a Mamba Monster X with an HH Puller Pro 540 2700 kV. Is an XT60 enough for this setup or should I step up to XT90’s?

XT60 is fine unless it's a high power 1/8 bashing truck

My only worry is the 3S pack I typically use in my Rey is 10 gauge wires. Im not sure I can fit those in the XT60 bullets. At least not with my soldering skills. I feel like the 12 ga wires on my TRX4 battery were a little snug even.

Is the XT90 a larger bullet.

Yeah the XT90 is larger and is rated for 90 amps while the 60's are rated for 60 amps.

Bigger wires are easier to solder to a XT90 as the bullets are larger.

I like to use the XT90 on my bashers and especially on higher voltage setups.

Voltage isn't an issue for the XT60's. I would recommend the XT90's for 6s and over just because the XT90 is offered with an anti-spark edition, but the XT60 has no issues running at higher voltages. Amperage heats up connectors, voltage does not.
