Default connector question

Hey
Does any one know the mfg or part # for the connectors on servos?
I want to get a bunch of them and dont want to get them from the hobby shop.
Any info on them would be great.
Thanks

Thanks for the link.
But I was trying to find out who the manufacture was so I can order like 100 of them.
I know you can get them for alot less than what tower sells them for.

There are plenty of manufacturers. Are you willing to get a crimp tool, and buy 1000 of them to safe some money?

http://www.hansenhobbies.com/product...rvoconnectors/

or

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idProduct=9632

both stores sell servo wire cheap as well

the first has servo crimper, i recommend doing this if you plan on crimping more than a few plugs or it will be a pain in da @$$. because its 4 crimps per terminal, 3 terminals per housing and 2 housings in a pair so 24 crimps per pair. As where a crimp tool will turn it into 6 because its 1 crimp per terminal and you will get better crimps

Yea i thought it was good find too. I came across it actually when i was looking for servo crimpers (after about 5 servo plugs and and a hour or two later. lol). It was a wild goose chase before i found it. Google, rc groups, links to other forums then back to rc groups then to hansen. lol.

I haven't bought any yet from them because i still have a some from hobbyking but soon i will be ordering from them.

I have been wondering about the silicon servo wire though. I could see the advantages of it for servo wire being ran next to hot elecs and folded over flat etc ect. But you gotta get it in individual strands which is the downfall

Just wondering but why are you looking for so many? I would think 10 pairs would be more than sufficient for custom made servo leads on a few crawlers

we have a bunch of RC trucks and cars. Using them for light kits also. Plus there are a few in our crew so its just better to get bulk.
