Sounds like you need a deans to traxxas adapter. The truck plug look like these?

Battery plug look like this? (disregard the battery itself) This is a traxxas plug.

Then you will need one of these. This is the deans to traxxas adapter I mentioned above.

Make sure you get the female and male ends headed the right way.
 
@Bossman or @D'Animal or anyone else who might know, I need to cut some milled posts to length and hope someone could recommend a mill attachment or similar bar attachment to use. Trimming some 10x10 and 8x8 cedars I had milled locally. Need square bottoms to use as porch posts at the house.

Picture of the pile cause er'body likes pictures.

Thanks
 
Dan may know a better way but I have always just used a worm drive skill saw and cut all the way around. Once cut in this way I use a simple hand saw to finish the uncut center. Cedar is easy to cut.

I've never cut more than an 8x8, but did kinda like Bossman. Draw a line around with a square, cut around with circular saw, finish with Sawzall.

Work with whatcha got.
 
Yeah, I am over thinking it. I guess I have seen too many pictures of all Dan's crazy mill attachments and was in chainsaw la-la land. Skill saw and hand saw will be the easiest by far. The 10x10s will be fun, better make sure I get out the good hand saw
 
If you have a bunch if them to cut you might want to rent a big worm drive saw. I think they cut about 3.5" deep so it wouldn't be too much to hand saw.
 
Some rental places have 10 1/4 blade circular saws, but you'll get only 3 3/4 depth of cut there typically so it's still 4 cuts around. Since dragging them to a large bandsaw likely isn't in the picture I'd say tack together a box sleeve instead of just drawing lines to get a better chance of a square bottom by giving the circular saw a guide to seat against. Do like the framers and clamp 'em up in a stack to make multiple cuts at once instead of each piece individually.
 
I always wanted a worm gear saw...:hmm:
 
I've had mine for nearly 30 years and worked the hell out of it back in the day. Best tool money I ever spent

Man. I wish I had your problems.

;)
 
When we did this with 12x12 cypress posts at the house we marked a line all the way around with a square like mentioned above and then nailed scrap 2x4's around the posts along/above the marked line. Then we cut them with a chainsaw using the 2x4's as a 'guide' for the bar. Not perfect, but it worked.
 
Not an expert but I believe the worm drive offers a larger, more powerful motor and more gear reduction through the worm gear resulting in greater torque. More power!! They tend to be lifetime saws vs replacing your saw every few years of regular use. Ergonomically the extra length offered by this design and hand placement are better for ripping 4x8 sheets and the blade is usually on the left side giving a clear line of sight to the cut for right handed users vs the obstructed view resulting from other designs. On the other hand, they are much heavier and some complain of fatigue with lengthy use.
 
I use a worm gear to cut the cheese.

$720 for a saw! Daaaaammmmmnnnnn!
