Simple yet effective and budget friendly. I built myself a rx bypass in the same style as this, but using PCB for strength. |

I foresee that quite a few could make use of this product. (I'm currently not one of them.) My main worry about using the Rx for power distribution in the first place is that the leads on the Rx board are so thin that there's a potential for power loss and heat development if lots of current is required. The solution is to bypass the Rx and have the power source (ESC or separate BEC) attached to a separate distributor like this one. If the ESC's internal BEC is used that also requires a signal cable though. Here's my idea (which is now public and free for anybody to use): 22AWG for the wires is preferred for low resistance.

Do you want a Deans connection for the power in and leave the outputs the same? Sure. Did you mean something else? |

I don't really know what I want but I need something to easily plug and unplug my lights to. I have my battery powering them directly and need something that can act as a plug for individual lights.

Would it work for you if I replaced the servo plug (this part) With a deans or double deans style plug? (couldn't find a picture of it by itself, but the double deans is shown in this picture) |
