The CNHL 2 Pairs 5mm Heatsink Bullet Plug Grips with Bullet Connectors are designed for RC racers who need a clean, secure and easy-to-handle connection between ESC power leads and 2S hardcase LiPo batteries with 5.0mm socket-style terminals.
This set includes 2 red and 2 black heatsink-style bullet plug grips, giving you two complete red/black connector pairs for hardcase battery wiring. The included 5mm bullet connectors insert directly into compatible hardcase LiPo battery sockets, while the red and black grip sleeves make battery installation, removal and polarity identification much easier during setup or race-day battery changes.
Although this style of product is often called a heatsink bullet plug grip, its most practical real-world value is grip, control and wire protection. Instead of pulling directly on silicone ESC wires, the larger grip sleeve gives your fingers a solid contact point, helping reduce stress on solder joints, wire insulation and battery lead connections over time.
What This Product Is
This is a 5mm bullet plug grip and connector set for direct hardcase LiPo battery connections. It is used when your 2S hardcase battery has built-in 5.0mm socket-style terminals and your ESC power leads need to connect directly to those battery sockets through bullet connectors.
What This Product Is Not
This product is not a standard plug-to-plug adapter like XT60 to XT90, EC5 to TRX or TRX to XT60. It does not convert one molded RC plug format into another. Instead, it is made for direct bullet-style hardcase battery wiring where the ESC leads are soldered to 5mm bullet connectors and inserted directly into the battery’s 5.0mm terminals.

Typical Applications
- 2S hardcase LiPo battery wiring
- 1/10 RC racing cars
- Touring cars, buggies and sprint cars
- Drag cars and modified RC builds
- Off-road trucks using direct bullet-style hardcase battery connections
- ESC battery leads that require direct 5mm bullet connection to hardcase packs
How It Works
Solder your ESC power leads to the included 5mm bullet connectors. Then slide the red and black plug grips over the bullet connectors and secure them with the set screws. Once installed, the bullet connectors can be inserted directly into compatible 5.0mm hardcase LiPo battery sockets.
The grip sleeves make it easier to install and remove battery leads without pulling directly on the wire. This is especially useful in compact RC racing chassis where battery trays are tight and bullet connectors can be difficult to grab by hand.
Compatibility & Fit Check
- Best suited for 2S hardcase LiPo batteries with 5.0mm socket-style terminals.
- Not intended for standard soft-pack LiPo batteries with pre-installed XT60, XT90, EC5 or TRX plugs.
- For best fitment, use the included matching 5mm bullet connectors.
- If using third-party bullet plugs, confirm the bullet head shape before installation. Some taller or unusual bullet head designs may not seat correctly inside the grip sleeve.
- Always check polarity before connecting the ESC to the battery.
Package Included
- 2 × Red 5mm heatsink bullet plug grips
- 2 × Black 5mm heatsink bullet plug grips
- 4 × Matching 5mm bullet connectors
- 4 × Set screws
Important Polarity Note
Always confirm battery polarity before connecting. Red should be used for positive and black for negative. Make sure both 5mm bullet plugs are fully seated in the battery sockets before powering on your ESC. Incorrect polarity can damage your ESC, battery or electronic system.
FAQ
Is this a regular XT60, XT90, EC5 or TRX adapter?
No. This is not a molded plug-to-plug adapter. It is a 5mm bullet plug grip and connector set for direct connection between ESC leads and 2S hardcase LiPo battery sockets.
Does this product increase voltage or capacity?
No. These bullet plug grips do not change voltage, capacity or battery performance. They are connection hardware designed to improve handling, polarity identification and hardcase battery wiring cleanliness.
Will these fit all 5mm bullet connectors?
They are designed around the included 5mm bullet connectors. Some third-party 5mm bullets may have taller or different head shapes, so fitment should be checked before final installation.
Why use red and black plug grips?
The red and black colors make it easier to identify positive and negative leads, especially in racing setups where wires may be routed tightly or changed quickly between runs.
