Something like this?

Not sure where to get the actual connector ends, but i believe they are called jst-xh.

Id check out your local hobby shop they may surprise you with what they have in stock.

i need the actual metal end of the wire where the connection is made. as you can see in that pic each connector has 3 metal pin connectors in this case. i need those metal pieces

The actual metal connectors are probly going to be pretty hard to find on their own. You would probly have to buy the whole plug end, just like they do with receiver plugs.

Not sure if other connectors share the same pins? I know the pins are different in say the thunder power style balance plugs.

The JST-XH connectors are made by JST Manufacturing. They appear to sell to the public. You'll have to browse through their site to find the connector you're looking for (and they make a lot).

Hope that helps.

you could just get the one from A Main and cut the plug off your pack and splice the new one on

you can buy extensions from hobby partz or hobby king and then just splice the correct end on there.

Let me kniow if you have any questions but this is prolly the easiest way. Also the extensions help when charging to allow battery to reach into lipo bag better.
