Sorry about the female plug mixup guys. I ordered a 1717 car version, but was a victim of the dreaded 1717 air/car mixup (despite Thomas's best efforts) and got the air version. This motor came with a set of female connectors, so I wrongly assumed they all did. My bad.
That said, when the new car motor comes in, I might check to see if it too comes with the female connectors, and if not, "borrow" them from the air motor package. Don't tell Patrick or Thomas though! Seriously, I'll call them first and they can just add the extra cost to my account.
