If you can just switch them to deans. I don't think they make a adapter for that connection.

The white conn is a tamiya male and they've been known to melt with just moderate current. I had one melt on a 18th scale and got lucky that the pos and neg didn't touch. Otherwise it would have cost me the electronics.

You're better off replacing them with something better.

Make your own adapter, but should get rid of those tamiya's, they are junk.

STOP DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!!! buy a traxxas or deans connector. Just remember male on esc and female on battery, that way you can put the male into the female.

Yup The plugs you want are either a Deans (Most Commonly used after market plug), Traxxas, or EC3. I have been using the EC3 more and more and am really starting to like them. And very easy to solder. The Traxxas end is the highest rated, but I hate soldering them because if you even get the littlest amount of solder past the solder area. You can't push the pin into the connector. Also they are very tight and sometimes hard to plug and unplug. The Deans are very easy to solder and easy to use. If you are just learning to solder some people melt the end and the pins get moved out of place. When soldering them I recommend connecting the male and female together then soldering them. That way the pins don't get moved out of place. Here is a picture of what I am talking about.
