Bullet Plugs for Battery/ESC/Carger -
07.08.2009, 09:40 PM
I'm thinking about switching from Deans to Bullet Plugs because they look cleaner IMO. The Rhino 1750mah packs I have for my RC18T have 16ga. wire and CaselCreations recommends you use the 4.5mm Bullet Plugs for 16ga sized wires.
All I would need to do is solder a one Male and one Female plugs on the battery and vise versa on the ESC right?
Also does anyone make a 6.5mm/4.5mm Adapter or would I have to make my own?
I want to get a 1/8 next and 6.5mm plugs would be ideal for that...

Yes..... But I just don't feel safe, I get cousins coming over, and knowing them.. They'll probably plug red and black together and get a nice little spark.... plus more.
Yea I agree they are a bit too easy to short out...But if your going to do it you can make your own adapter(I could even make it for you if you really want it)its not that hard...not too sure if they sell manufactured adapters. Also you might want to use color coated shrink wrap...make it a visual reminder what your doing is right.
Yeah, I guess you could take some sort of plastic, and make your own plug, that'd be neat.
Or you could use regular duct tape or electrical tape, and just wrap the male connector under the female, for the battery side, and vice versa for the ESC side... Making your own adapter kinda.
I think the large bullets are definitely more efficiant and offer less less resistance than a Deans or others but to easy for expensive accidental mistakes. Spark+Smoke=Pissed off.
