Deans Connectors -
03-10-2006, 08:53 PM
I was having problems with my fail safe on my xxx-nt2. Marshals would stare at my like, "cars running dude, whatcha want". My Pit guy (Tex I think) fiddled with the wires, and off I go. Well no more. I saw on Slims buggy he used Deans connectors and eliminated the switch, I decided it was time for a rewire. I ran the wires straight to the reciever and sodered to the pins. Anyone else do this? I did not want to use Deans on that tiny receiver wire. No warranty but wtf, it works now so it should stay working. Knock Knock

Yup.. I've done exactly what you did on all my Rc's since the laste 90's but I go extreme overkill on the wire size.. Its all Deans wet noodle (12 or 14ga I believe) wire. Plus since I have Deans Ultra plugs on all my chargers already its super easy to charge my RX packs. I've Never had a single problem with this setup in all these years and I don't expect to! Switches go bad randomly or can cause glitching because dirt gets in there and causes the switch to loose contact as the engine vibrates.

I ran the 14ga.. I tinned the pins, then pushed the wire over without any splice. The 12 ga. was too fat and I couldnt get any servo wires in there, but I used 12ga. for my charger.
Now im ready to build my own packs  Anyone know where to get loose cells in a high Mah. rating? Any advantage to building packs over buying ready made? And are reciever cells the same sold for mini's like the rc18?Thanks,Kevin  MBX5T - O.S. MBX5R - Novarossi Nomadio

I did that for awhile but i just buy them built now. I currently use deans connectors, but its a paint in the ass splicicing the wires and stuff, and my connectors are starting to get a bit iffy, i will proly go back to the switch www.czech-it-out-graphics.com 1/29/07 never forget....TTT Bringing old know-it-all blow hards back to reallity at a forum near you "Always Imitated, Never Duplicated"

I used to run deans on my LSP. BUt they where a pain to plug in and un plug trackside. At one race trying to unlplug it the wires pulled off the plug. So I said forget this going back to the on off switch with a charge lead. I know they can go bad randomly, but I change them once a year just to be safe.

I do the same as George........Not because he does it,=P just find it simple that way. I've had good luck using the Airtronics switches with charging leads built in.
