I plugged in a bat backwards 1 time and luckily I didn't fry anything, just mad the conector come unsoldered, so I went with batts that have the plugs permenatly attached....but I see what u are asking about, it would be good of the companies to make a lipo with pos larger than the neg side!!

And I bet you're the perfect one that never needs a marshal either.
The fact is polarity is non-universal among the battery producers. Depending on battery position the connection isn't always in the same location. Never mind, racing sometimes goes into the night and the lighting isn't the best. Or someone else could be tending to your car, etc, etc.
If paying attention was the solution just imagine how different our world would be. So I will forget that you posted anything useful.

I have a dex210 and when the battery is pushed all the way back it's under the chassis brace so the plugs would have to go forward. At this point the connector for the short plug would have to become longer to reach on the other side. I'll look at it again but I'd like something a little more fool proof and I'm getting tired of deans (and other connectors). Also my kids use this car as well and are very eager to help (if you now what i mean).
I should be able to make a male-male plug w/ some copper or other material.

Hey man, don't attack me..... I have made many mistakes and they all have been very costly ....to ME . SO I started to pay attention. This one simple solution. Take the post for what it states. And yes I need to be marshaled but that is non of your business so keep the attitude of the threads. And try 2 pay attention next time.
I don't think I need to say anymore.
