Using the XT60 power module how are you guys connecting Lipo batteries with say a EC3 connection? I may be missing something, but I seem not to find alot of batteries with XT60 leads?

I buy Turnigy batteries exclusively, and they come with XT60's in the smaller sizes. The larger sizes come with... whatever those giant red things are called. I remove them and install XT90's. The XT series is, IMO, hands down the best connector available. So I just stock up on bare plugs.

I only use XT90 connectors. When buying batteries I just cut their connectors and solder XT90 instead.
XT90 supports 90 amps while the smaller XT60 supports 60 amps.

I made one of these (difference being mine was from HXT4 to XT60)
