Re: changing battery clips

cut off the existing connecter as close to the connecter as you can, then remove about 5mm of shielding form the end of the wire, exposing the wire within.
get your new tam, crimp on the metal prongs, insert them into the plastic housing ensuring they are correctly orientated

Although make sure you crimp them well, Tamiya connectors are pants if not crimped properly.

Like it...lol

Was going to suggest alternatives but it would probably have descended into a bestest connector thread.

Get deans mate. A shop of components sells them with wire already on.

BLATES lol.

Only thing is even if the buyer is a spastic and did mess around with it, he's still entitled to his refund from paypal.
Which is a nightmare for genuine sellers...
