It seems like if there was a female-to-male rod we put in one of the bullets on the battery this would solve it. Does anyone make anything like that?

Or is there a better way?
If you're using a bullet style battery, some people mark the positive side with a red sharpy and use red wire and red heat shrink wrap.. it helps. I too have fried an ESC but promised myself i wouldn't do it agian.
