So i just bought a complete gearbox and i am a bit confused on how to get the wires connected to a battery.
this is my first time buying a complete gearbox and i am just wondering how the heck these connectors are supposed to connect to a battery.

Well, this gearbox relies on your old gearbox to have some special spade connectors that will plug into this one. Check your old wires, there's probably some part of the wire that's lumpy, covered in heat-shrink. If you can get the heat shrink off, there should be some spade connectors underneath, that you may be able to plug into your current gearbox. You might still need to do some soldering though.

on my old gearbox there isn't any thing on the wires. the wires are just continuous through the gearbox.

Well, then you're going to have to cut wires and solder on the connectors then.

^ Those require cutting the wires on the battery and soldering

^ Those would be crimped on to the wiring from the gearbox. Make sure you pin the connector correctly so you don't short the battery out.
