Re: deans connection

You don't need a new charger, you either need to solder a deans onto you charger or buy an adaptor cable for ~£4. You should be able to find one of these in most RC shops and they are all over the internet.

Re: deans connection

If you've got a MAGPUL M4 and it's a G&P one then the deans connector could be a mini-deans, mine was. I had real trouble finding them. In the end I just re-soldered everything to regular size Deans. They offer much better energy transfer than Tam connectors, they are smaller and easier to connect.

I believe though these have been super-seeded by XT60 connectors, I have some but can't be arsed to fit them, all depends on how anal you are :-)

Re: deans connection

as eudean says looks ok just make sure that's the same size Deans and you'll good to go. £5 is kinda pricey though, you may want to invest in a soldering iron and some Deans and do your own connectors in the future. Well worth learning how to solder!
