Ive never had any issues myself with the red bullet style plugs redcat uses.
as far as overnight charging...welcome to the world of RTR chargers. nearly all RTR chargers suck, as they charge at very low amp rates.
a thunder AC6 or Imex B6 charger can be had for $45-$50 and will charge your battery in less than 1 hour. Those will also charge lipo batteries, which are a good upgrade you can consider down the road. You would have to upgrade the stock ESC (speed control) 1st.
Ive had a sandstorm before. I liked the flip open roll cage.
