I had the Furibee X140 sent to me, and I decided on the batteries by reading the questions at the bottom of the page. In one question, it was asked what connector it had, and an associate with Gearbest stated "XT30". So I ordered batteries that had that connector on it. Guess what, that info was wrong.

Thankfully over the years of ordering batteries, I have a good little supply of XT60 connectors laying around from swapping over to Deans or T-Plug connectors. Now that I'm thinking about swapping over to XT60 on all of my packs, I figured I would just replace these connectors (XT30) with XT60 connectors so that when I do change over, I can use the same balance board to charge all of my batteries.

Why XT60? You already know I'm partial to EC connectors. I also thought you were happy with Deans.

I am happy with the Deans Plugs, but everything is coming with XT60's already attached so why not. And to me, the EC line just looks and feels too cheap. In the end, they all work equally well which is why I have not made the investment in swapping everything over yet. lol.
