yes, the same 5.5mm bullet plugs that they supply with all their packs that have 8awg wire.

Now with these super turbo packs you just have the 3 week wait for Hobbycity to pack and post the bastards!

i got my battery yesterday. it is a little longer and heavier than my 20c 5000mah 4s pack. instead of soldering a dean's plug to it, i decided to solder 5.5mm plugs on my MMM and made a deans adapter for the rest of my battery packs. i want to pull some serious amps from this pack and i don't think dean's would be enough. i will have to do some creative dremeling on my lx-1e's battery tray to get the battery to fit, but i will run it as soon as it isn't over 105F ambient here.
i am afraid to run lipos in this insane heat after what happened a couple weeks ago. my 20c 4s pack swelled about 8mm thicker than it's original size and it got to over 140F. i threw it in a cooler and it went back to it's normal size by the time it was cooled down. this pack has seen about 60 hard cycles in my buggy and truggy and it has proven to be the best 20c pack i have ever used, but most of these runs were under 100F.

in australia here we see temps up to 45C and i think 100 is about 35 so add a few more degrees to your temps!!! racing in the middle of summer is stupidly hot.

45c = 113f


temps here get up to 115f every now and then (118f max) and it is usually around 108-114f here during this part of the year.

getting back on subject, the pack construction appears to be better on the nano-tech pack compared to my older turnigy. the shrink wrap is a little thicker and the ends of the pack are "wrapped" like a hyperion or neu pack.
