Best $21 ever spent. Servo Connector Crimping Pilers 7 Attachment(s) Tired of looking at your spaghetti servo and BEC wires jammed in open spaces in the chassis? I got these from towerhobbies. There are other brands. These pilers $21... http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXYPT5&P=ML And these (females) http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXTSH7&P=M And these (Males) http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXTSH5&P=M I have done two dual ESC wire shortening jobs and a few servo lead reductions in the past couple days. I used this video...A cherry ol' chap...A little different pilers but gives a few tips. FF to 1:22... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHLz1Mck_Kg Some before and after shots of dual Mamba Micro Pros, 1st 3 pictures and then some dual BR-XL's, last 3 pictures. I power my servo directly from the bec and only run the servo signal wire to the Rx. So that needs a Female from the BEC. |
Just got a set of those myself a few weeks back. Got tired of the rats nest. |

Just one note. Don't crimp the "wings" on the end that go around the wire itself too much. It will cut right through the wire and cut it off. Just a good snug crimp. |
Damn, definetly need one of those!"thumbsup" |
ya mean i don't need to solder wires after cutting them now, sweet "thumbsup" .........bob .... |
might have to pick up one of these. |
I also got the servo wire just in case, but forgot to get the male connectors. Those will get ordered the next time. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXPWC1&P=M |
I picked up a similar tool from servocity.com and am kicking myself for waiting so long to get one! Now I don't hesitate to make all kinds of custom wires/leads and it's made working on my electronics so much nicer.... |
Best $15 ever spent if you buy here: http://www.hansenhobbies.com/product...ools/crimp_ec/ I bought mine and a few other parts and connectors from them and they showed up within 3 days. Great service and they respond to emails quickly too! |
I purchased one a while back from Servo City, it's must have tool IMO. "thumbsup" |
Didn't even know these existed. :oops: Time to spend some money! |
Ya'll are cheezing out, i have a pair somewhere (been looking for it), but it cost me $80 :shock: I had, for awhile a pair of $175 crimpers for plugs on the dx3s (backlight kits) but i sold them off on ebay for $150 |

a buddy of mine that works at napa hooked me up with these NAPA AUTO PARTS summit sells the same ones for $32 Summit Racing SUM-900401 - Summit Racing® Weather-Tite Crimping Tools - Overview - SummitRacing.com these work great. if you look at the design they close even, not like the cheap ones that hinge close. |
