Guys I'm sorry if this has been answered already but I'm falling in to a black hole of different connectors. I'm new to the hobby and I have a K6 . I have all ec5 lipo batteries and I'm getting the connectors wrong constantly and it's starting to get expensive... Is this a proper noob mistake that's easily fixed with some advice or is it best to just change the connectors. Bought a skyrc q200 charger and it comes with only xt60 adaptors. What is the best thing to get to connect my ec5 batteries to the charger. Can't seem to find an adaptor that clearly converts from ec5 to xt60 either. Thx!
 
Pretty sure this is all you need, took 2 seconds to search on eBay lol https://www.ebay.com/itm/154115191017
Those are XT90 he needs XT60.

Guess it's time to learn how to solder. Gonna save you tons of money in the long run.

Ah that's bloody fantastic thank you! Appreciate it guys. I think the mistake I've made in not being able to find them is because I assumed my ec5 connector on the battery was male as it goes inside the connector on the truck, but that is a different connector type ?
The q200 has banana plugs... no need for the xt60 at all...

You want 4mm banana to ec5 or xt90... your ec5 battery plugs will fit a xt90...?

Awesome tip , cheers
I've ordered a bunch of connectors, was much cheaper than the cables. Haven't soldered for about 20 years! Looking forward to it.
