Hi! Don't try to do this operation, there is the possibility that the engine starts at full throttle, its very dangerous. However, most of hobbyking's esc have a safety system inside which prevent the engine to start if the receiver is not connected
None of the SC/BECS I've bought from Hobby City came with the same plug - and your chosen product doesn't seem to mention the connector. I bought two of these batteries and they both came with Female "XT60" connectors. I removed them and used Deans plugs.
It should fit, may be a tad wide, but RC18t's are pretty "loose" when it comes to getting a battery to fit. Soldering a different connector should not be a problem.
I use this LiPo in 4 of my TX, which are build for 8 AA cells. I had to modify the compartment by cutting space for the battery. I use JST instead of the Deans. The balance connector is located on the outside via the edge of the lid. I always charge the LiPo with the JST-XH connector. I also bought a JST-XH Wire Extension 3S (20cm) as a charge/balance cord. If you whant to be on the safe side you can charge by taking the battery out. I don't, but I put it on a safe place.
great battery, great quality, great price, I use it a RC18b with a 6800kv mamba motor and 25 amp esc, with 14/55 gearing.delivers a great punch and top speed, only gets slightly warm. the only thing is its size is listed wrong its 85x35x17 no big deal tho.
