Kraton connectors for cheapo lipo,

[wmpwashing]

I hate to ask this question , is the Ic5 the same as the ec5 ?

And from looking at the photos, I would need a male xt60 to male ec5/ic5 connector to hook this lipo to my new Kraton 4s correct ?

and would this be the one ? https://www.smc-racing.net/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=534&search=xt60+ec5

Thanks.

EC5 and IC5 are compatible. IC5 has a third connector for smart features that are lost when using an EC5. Other than that, they are the same. XT90 are fine too and some have said they connect with an EC5 too, but I don’t own any to try this.

EC5 and IC5 are compatible. XT90 and EC5 are not IMO. XT90 uses 4.5mm bullets EC5 use 5mm.

You need a male XT60 to a EC5/IC5 female for your battery https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?I=VNRC1021

I wouldn't use a XT60 connector for 4s but I assume you don't want to solder or know how to solder so you want use a adapter.

Thank you kindly. you are correct on the not really knowing how to solder but I realize it is not terribly difficult so I will be learning soon.

If you have a local hobby shop they will solder an ec5 on there for ya. If you do get the adapter get the ones with no wires
