You can stick 10mm bullets on 16guage wire if you so desire, it wont make the slightest bit of difference to how the esc or motor works- the reason why the MMpro uses 4mm bullets is because A) they're cheaper & B) larger bullets arent generally required given the size of motor and application the esc will be typically used in, I.E. a 1/10 stadium truck or 1/8 buggy. You've had all this explained to you atleast once or twice now, no need to keep asking about using bigger connectors, as at the end of the day its down to user descression; if you plan to use the esc in a setup that will pull a fair bit of current, then common sense dictates you should use larger bullets. Provided you dont do anything silly like use the MMPro in a 14lb MT with an XL motor and gear it to the moon, as CastleCreations have already stated what applications the esc is suited to I.E 1/10 STs and 1/8 buggies- the smaller cms36 motors use smaller plugs, so that makes life easier when connecting up the esc. If you want to use a larger motor like a ~1512 for example (ideal 1/8 buggy motor), then you will need to change the connectors to somethign more suitable. |
yeah okay but that movie shows how to solder it to a motor cables, but what I meant was how to solder bigger 6mm connectors to the MMPro wich has originally 4mm connectors...
if the ESC MMPro has prelocated space for 4mm connectors, how can a bigger connector be soldered on that prelocated space when that space is to small...do you know what I mean? :)
