Just change the connector on the device to something more common like EC5 or Deans

XT90 is a high current connector , probably a bit of overkill for a 2S in an rc car .
You could solder on a new connector to the ESC or the battery ( be very careful doing the battery ) .
Last resort would be an adapter from what ever plug to XT90 , but this would cause an increase in the resistance in the wires from the battery to esc .

+1 on the reasoning. And probably why OP is not finding many 2S packs out there. Turnigy, Duratrax, Power Hobby, and Pro Match have 2S packs with the great XT90 connectors though . If it were me, I'd be buying a bag full of XT90 connectors, and be putting my soldering skills to the test. XT connectors are the easiest to work with IMO.

maybe you could try xt60 or deans plug for your cars, and find lipo on Gens tattu online shop if you need.
