Does anyone knows what kind of connector does those lipo from hobbyking.com comes with?

Mine came with some weird yellow ones Ive never seen before. Plan on replacing them with deans or traxxas or whatever you usually use.

The ones I got had what is called and XT60. Looks like this:

I too cut them off and installed deans.

Same discharge plug shown here - what HC calls the XT60 plug -

Don't know why they didn't show that on the lipo you're looking at. This is what that connector looks like -

I change mine to deans connectors when I get them which kills any warranty on the lipo.

Ya they used to come with a knock-off Deans, but some people had trouble with them so they stopped that mess. One of the fake male Deans that came on my Accucel-6 caused me to pop a trace on a cheap lipo circuit board. The first time I plugged it in the "gold" plating on one of the tabs peeled off and touched the other tab shorting the pack. I watched it happen but couldnt stop it in time. Needless to say I was pretty upset with the "fake" Deans plugs, not to mention they just dont fit quite right. Warranty is such a pain with shipping to HK and all so whatever, good thing we can buy 2 for the price of anyone elses.

I think HC does this deliberately - they know most using lipos use Deans or Traxxas for connectors. The warranty is immed void as soon as you cut the orig connectors off.

Remember to do any checking of your new HC lipos before you cut or change conns.
