i bought this adapter to use with the new turnigy 3s batteries with XT90 connectors and ic5 on esc... but when i tried to attach the adapter to the battery i noticed it nothing is correct ?‍

in description they said...A handy adapter to convert an XT90 equipped battery to an EC5 connector. Useful for use with an EC5 equipped ESC or Charge lead.

But xt90 is not a male?? ?


confusion ?

i am confused What would be correct?

Very true but if you want to be in this hobby I think it’s a must to learn will save you lots of time and frustration

@BashingBrian I have not soldered and so far I do not have a soldering iron, but I will have to think about it, because it is just awkward to wait and never know if you will get the right product ?

@WTF MIKE nice job ?

@Mk_Rc I'd suggest picking a battery connector and going full on with it. Don't use adapters and instead pick a connector of your choice and have all your RC's and/or batteries us it. No adapters needed.

Tnx for your suggestion ?i have all my other batteries ec5 connector. On 3s rigs works good how well are then on 6s rigs when you bash hard?

If you decide to learn to solder, don’t use that knowledge to make an adapter. Freaking replace the connector on the battery ??‍

Does it or doesn’t it void the warranty to swap ESC connectors?

 

[Mk_Rc]

Ok...I decided to buy this soldering station. this will be good for learning soldering...cheap and good reviews ? do i need anything else?

Solder
Flux
Heatshrink tubing
Large solder tip like this one which was recently posted here.

@Mongoose Thank you ? now i need find all this thing...i look on hobbyking but most of stuff you wrote is out of stock for european market.

 

[Mongoose]

Do you have any hardware stores near you? The only thing that most likely will not be found in a hardware store is the Hakko tip but the one that comes with your iron may be good enough. Do you have a pic of it? The shape isn’t really that important, it’s the size because you want it be able to transfer a lot of heat quickly.

You should just solder the connectors correctly. Using adapters is a bad idea. It’s okay for charging, but don’t use these in your truck. The connection can break or short out if it’s not made properly. And they usually are made cheaply. Direct solder is the best possible connection.
