Hi Kevin,
A simple "butt joint" using high quality 12Ga wire can lengthen the original leads to whatever length you'd like, just be careful to cut/splice the wires one at a time, as shorting is extremely damaging to lipo. But any soldering attempt on the cell tabs/opening the case will void your warranty.
The high power connector is factory installed.

hey kevin, the lead on the core comes with a deans, its more the long enough for any car, JB shorten his, i left mine alone. can't imagine the leads wearing out and needing changing, i guess if you cut them short for one car they could be to short for another, but then you would just use longer wires on the speedo. anyway, come by my pit, i have one you can check out,
i got your pm, not sure about tomorrow, may be going to TRCR to get dirty.

I saw the pic on the 5000 and looked like it came with a Traxxas type connector, so wasnt sure how short cutting it off would be...thanks for the update. Where are people getting these right now...from SIR or thru Nexus Racing or what? I had a look at yours Friday during my spy mission, and from watching yours and JB's rides I know the punch is there.
I think you'll like my Lipo idea, I need to find out material costs, I know how much CNC machine costs will be, hopefully I can produce cheap enough to market them...if not just "my buddies" will get one.

Sterling is trying to talk me into getting my XXXT out there but one iron in the fire is enough for right now.

I prefer them to Deans anyway, the shrouds are keyed so they can only plug together one way as well as preventing any 'short'.

Before I left Schu USA I pushed Robin to make the Core packs have zero loss plugs as they are far more common in the US than anything else. I thought he was going to use them in Europe too but he went with the bullet connector. I have no idea why. The zero loss connector is far superior.
The zero loss connectors are proven in R/C Planes and Helis to work perfectly flowing up to 200A and 2500W with no problem. The bullet connectors fry at half that power level.
