Motor connectors and wiring.

[hijack]

Hi all.

Does anyone know where I can get some standard motor wire connectors from. Been searching for a while with no joy. All they are are a spade type connector but all I can find are the larger crimp style ones and not the soldering ones I need.

My other question is about wiring. What type of wire is used in the gearboxes ( v2) rating wise. Any ideas?

Cheers guys.

Re: Motor connectors and wiring.

maplins sell the correct motor spade connectors ( come with a red cap that needs cutting off , and you have to open them up a little )

depends on the gun tbh , but most are 18awg

i had a pack of them, and ill put it nice, they are piss weak, you bend them over so the motor cover fits and they snap

So essentially they are just 2.8mm crimp style connectors with the plastic cut off then....lol Sounds like a visit to a pound shop is in order....lmao

Re: Motor connectors and wiring.

a wee tip is to bend the fitting over - almost 90 degrees ( but don't snap it), and solder a small spot on the back of the fitting at the joint. This helps the joint and prevents snapping. A bit of heat shrink over the top and thats it, job done
