They include the end caps depicted in the image.
Yes, it is possible. These xt90 plugs are great on all of my rcs, including my 8s xmaxx.
It will be easier to keep water out if you use marine grade shrink wrap and tape. However, nothing is water proof, even if it is labeled as such.
If you want a connector in line, I believe you could use the xt 90's because they are a large plug with a lot of current carrying capacity. The xt 60's would probably work as well, depending on the wire size you'll be soldering in.

These connectors are better suited for high current and voltage than a deans connector, and they also have the added benefit of being safer to use around electronics and metal. It's much less likely to short out a battery because the male and female sides are both housed in their own housings. And, depending on your battery type, this could prevent you from blowing a battery circuit or even setting the battery on fire; you never know with LiPo batteries these days, and because they are so powerful, I would recommend switching all of your connections to these XT90s. It simplifies and secures everything. (Before attempting any of this, please learn how to solder proper connections. ) I also use these for my Lithium Ion (21700) solar power bank and Lithium Ion (18650) CPAP Machine USP Backup (there are certain ways to change the connectors safely without creating a short)br>I also use these for my Lithium Ion (21700) solar power bank and Lithium Ion (18650) CPAP Machine USP Backup (there are certain ways to change the connectors safely without creating a short)br> br>Because of the high amperage, at 48VDC I can run my solar system up to a 2025 Amp Breaker on 125VAC Inverter even if it has a low efficiency ( like 75%). In my home or while traveling with my CPAP machine, this makes it very simple and safe to plug and play anything battery or otherwise. For higher DC voltage solar setups, you can get even more from these little connectors, and probably run three or four 15Amp breakers on a single connection.
Dean's plugs have been in my RC planes and cars for the past 15 years. I think the real Dean's connectors are great, but they're pricey, and the clones are of varying quality. I chose something a little more durable than Dean's for my RC cars, especially because the currents on the larger motors can get quite high. Well, I must say, I wish I had switched to XT90s sooner, because these things are fantastic. There's no risk of these separating if you land a little too softly. It's simple to solder 12 gauge (or larger) wire into. There's plenty to hold onto to separate the battery from the vehicle (unlike Dean's, where the wire acts as a lever). These are fantastic; I'll continue to use Dean's for my planes, but will switch to XT90s for my cars.
Tonight, I finished converting my two competition truggy 4s packs, a 4s bash pack, and three 3s bash packs. These xt90's are great because they don't get hot during 4 and 6s bash sessions. I haven't yet taken my truggy to the track, but I expect it to perform admirably given that it will be powered by less than my Notorious 6s basher. Soldering these connections is a simple process. Set my soldering station to 800°C, tin the tip, touch the leads on the backside of the xt90, and immediately feed solder in; they absorb solder and stick remarkably well. I'm going to convert all of my 3s packs to 1/8th scale and use this for everything.
I've worked as an EC- for quite some time now. For a while, I was a 3 guy, but these connectors are forcing me to make the switch to XT-. Between the ages of 60 and 90, Amass is a fantastic product: The fit is perfect, the solder connections are easily accessible, and the supplied click-on covers fit perfectly and can be removed if you need to resolder. In addition, the price is excellent. Tip: If you're making a voltage monitoring lead and adding a small voltage lead to the connection before heat shrinking it, enlarge the cover holes with a small reamer or round file. This is how I've been able to make perfect harnesses. Thank you so much, Amass.
The connectors have a solid feel to them and a strong connection. (A spring noise can be heard as the contacts disengage when pulling apart. ) br>br>They can handle 10 awg wire and will not deform when exposed to the heat required to solder. But be careful; at that temperature, the connector can burn you, and it takes a long time to cool down. br>br>12 AWG is the sweet spot for wire size, and 1/4" shrink tube acts as an insulator while connecting the other wire (if working with live power, as in my application) and provides a clean finished look once the cap is installed.
All connectors mate firmly with each other as well as with 3rd party XT-compatible XT-compatible XT-compatible XT-compatible XT-compatible XT-compatible XT-compatible XT-compatible XT-compatible 3r They're from the 1990s, but they don't have enough heatshrink. A minimum of 400mm of heatshrink tube would be required to cover the 40 8mm long connections on the back of the battery. However, only 200mm (100 black and 100 red) are included in the kit, which means that if you are 100% efficient and don't have any mishaps or mismeasurements, you can only cover half%.
I swapped out the connectors on my batteries and ESCs. br>These Amass XT90 connectors have a tight fit but are simple to unhook. If you're looking for a more dependable high-current connector, look no further. THERE IS NO NEED TO LOOK ANYFURTHER. br>You can tell how well they fit together and how easily they solder. They always come with a snap cover to hide the soldered connections. br>I purchased enough connectors to replace all of my larger batteries and speed controllers. br>I'm going to go out and buy a large extra pack just in case. DO NOT PURCHASE THE KNOCK OFFS. br>THESE ARE THE ACTUAL PRODUCTS.
