    Heng Long Battery Connector Question.

    Does anyone know what this end of the connector is called?

    I looked up "bullet connector" but none of them look like this. I want to connect my 7.1 cpu which has a deans connector to my xt60 battery without having to solder.

    It is a common connector used in automobile. No special tool is needed.

      What you circled is called the Female side of the bullet plug.

        One source. There are many including Amazon.

        The Snap Connector Set by Tamiya is built for high performance driving and optimal functionality. Shop RC car and truck accessories and other remote control products at Tower Hobbies.

          Is there a pair of male of these connectors attached to a female deans connector for sale anywhere?

              The connectors circled are female bullet connectors. They can be fitted to wires without any special tools just a pair of pliers. However a proper crimping tool makes for a better joint, and all without soldering.

                4mm male bullet to male Dean's convertor is available for sale everywhere. 4mm male bullet to female Dean's convertor are less popular, but can be found on Amazon too, which is configured for 2S LiPO battery pack.

                You can easily make a 4mm male bullet to female Dean's convertor if you can handle a soldering iron. Be careful that NO male connector is from your power source.

                Show a sketch of what you want to do if you need more help.

                  This is what I found to connect the TK-7.1 mainboard to my XT60 female connector batteries.
                  Order this from Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/335009401962
                  At $4.00 each you can't make it yourself for anything less!

                        You are right. It just a matter of how you want to configure. I am not a big fan of the Dean's plug which is hard to disconnect and hard to solder.

                        Your suggestion is the best one if he wants to avoid soldering.
