RE: Is this a good choice?
Don't mind that pic, it's how racers rig up their electronics for less resistance and better current. If you buy the car in kit form you'll be able to use Tamiya ( Standard plugs ), Deans racing plugs ( My favorite ), or any other battery connectors you wish. If you get it in RTR form it will come with Tamiya ( Standard ) plugs which are an industry standard for batterys, ESC, and chargers.
