mamba max pro problem

Lol the connectors are going to weigh more than the speed control. I think you should just use the Anderson powerpole connectors, you know they make them in multipole now.

but how do you guys change the connectors on the ESC itself than I wonder?
fit the connecdtors on the Pro are 4mm, won't any connector that is bigger fit?

Coolbeans, I'll use a set in my pan car. I have to eek out every millivolt for my servo.

All you need to do is heat the connector up with an iron, the solder will melt, and then you can remove the plug & replace it with a larger one. Not difficult to work out at all. Only thing you need to do is add a little extra solder into the new connector before inserting the wire, then after its cooled down add the heatshrink tubing- heres a video for the hard of learning:

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? :)

[J57ltr]

Don't worry about changing the connectors unless you upgrade the wires as well. What is being said is that there is no point unless you upgrad the wires. It would be like installing a large 3" (76mm) high flow muffler on a stock 1.5" (38mm) exhaust system, there is no point.

I dont mean to be rude, but are you really trying to tell me that because the wires are coming off the esc and not the motor, that you cant work out how to change the connectors with EXACTLY THE SAME METHOD?!?

1. REMOVE 4MM PLUG
2. REPLACE WITH LARGER PLUG

It doesnt make single bit of difference where the wires are attached to.

Like I said before, and has been said to you by several other people (all with more patience than me evidently...), it doesnt matter what size the wire is, you can always use a bigger connector simply by removing the stock ones- you just have to use the same size male and female ones on the esc wires and motor wires so that they match up.

Or like other guys said, you dont even have to use connectors, just direct solder the wires together with a butt-joint or butt-joint connectors to make a more solid joint. IS NOT DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT, YOU ARE OVER THINKING THE 'PROBLEM'...


EDIT:



See the 3 wires coming from the esc that have the 4mm plugs on & that go to the motor? All you have to do is remove them, and solder on the larger plugs- I dont understand what you are talking about with regards to a lack of space? The plugs are not on the esc itself, they are on the ends of wires- there is no lack of space available to put on larger connectors- you just need a little extra solder in the connector before inserting the wire to take up any slack & ensure a solid joint; exactly as I said last time.

[snellemin]

5mm or dual 3.5mm plugs is the biggest I would go with the MMpro. But nothing beats a direct solder connection. I just wish the MMpro motor wires were a bit longer.

[Riko]

my bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so excuuuuuuuuuse me...no need to use capital letters, cause the way it looks is that you are from the traxxas board

for some reason I thought the plugs were soldered directly onto the Pro itself like on the MMM.................

[SunnyHouTX]

That has to be the funniest exchange in a while

When you assume...

[suicideneil]

Ahhhhhh, I see!

Assumption is the mother of all f*ck ups


Sorry about that, I just couldnt understand the issue about lack of space for bigger plugs- now it all makes perfect sense- carry on people, nothing to see here...

[Riko]

lol :)
Steven Seagal fan huh? ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg4trPZFUwc

[suicideneil]

Yeah, but the original UnderSeige on the ship was sooooo much better...
