any small metal that dropped into the tiny gap is gonna short it already

‘’ none of these xt plugs male or female will allow a short they are designed to avoid shorts ‘’ is a direct citation from him.
I said that it don’t make sense, he has not answered yet and I don’t know if he will.
Mistakes happen, I just wish he offered to send me an adapter and admit his error.
@frame Yes, I 100% agree.
Maybe he was confused, to be fair it would be hard to get a short with a female xt plug
It would also be very hard to put it in backwards. That’s technically reverse polarity, not a short, but still.
If you really don’t want to bother soldering or rewiring anything, look for xt60/90/whatever you use to whatever your esc or antispark uses splitters.
You obviously need a parallel one that has 2 female heads of the assortment you need. They might be common on ebay for under £5

Okay, even for me, a guy who is new to the entire DIY esk8 builds, knows for a fact that its the female side that does this since there’s no contact points.

He acknowledged and apologized. His reason was that he installs plugs indifferently and include the other plug in the package. I asked him to only use female plug in his future packs. A shorted battery because of that wouldn’t only be the fault of a customer in my opinion.
I have to learn soldering I guess.

Soldering is extremely easy. What’s gonna suck about soldering is not buying the right soldering wand. I learned that the hard way…

I will have to do some research then. Any brand / model recommended ?
Hakko - yes they look like toys, but they are industry standard
Weller - High quality
TS-80 or TS-100 are both good (theres several brands but my TS-80 is a UY-CHAN I think)

Game-changer for me.

I went with the TS-100. Its smaller, but still really good. However, you have to power it with a barrel connector

Might be hard to tell because I have fault time set to 50ms
yeah IDK why my sensors seem to no longer work after my ride last night.
All that happened is I got loose motor can screws… I don’t see how that spinning would make the hall stop functioning properly. This motor noise sure sounds like the can is still loose but I see no scraping and no heat.
