Default Battery connection?

I just bought a couple of these Batteries off ebay and they have Tamiya connectors...what does the Redcat RS10 XT come with?
Will I need to change the connectors?

those are the Tamiya connectors on the battery, the RS10 runs that connector so your ok. but they arent the best to have , most people change to DEANS Connectors for better perfomance.

Yep, I have Deans on everything else, just wanted to make sure these batteries would work with the Tamiya connectors so she and I can play with it until I make it to the LHS!

Looks like your covered. Deans are my favorite connector. When i first got into Electric i was told deans are PITA to solder, come to think of it i think i'm the only one that enjoys soldering deans

Deans never seemed difficult to solder to me. I use flux when I solder and it sticks every time without having to heat the he'll out of it. Grab a can of flux and your solder will stick on contact!

Same here, deans aren't bad to solder at all, especially if you have a 3rd hand tool.
