The new Zippy compact batteries for the Trainstar were a bit of a surprise, coming with a different connector to what I'm used to. The Turnigy 2700mAh, with a 20C rating, had XT60's whereas the 25C Zippy has HXT's . I guess, therefore, that this is the threshold for the higher-rated HXT connectors.
I've been trying to decide what to do, with my ESC having the XT60 connector, thinking that retaining the high-performance connectors would be preferable. However the mating connector has proved difficult to find and, as I recently realised, my charger doesn't have facility to connect to HXT leads.
So I might just change the connectors on the batteries to XT60's and be done with it. That way it'll suit the ESC and the charger, although necessitating changing two connectors, with soldering not being my nemesis...
