Hi all,

Had to go wading this week due to a Tamiya plug failing. I find these plugs a bit hit and miss and someone suggested gold connecters all through but I like the security of not being able to connect up the wrong way. Any suggestions for a better alternative?

Thanks,

Ian Gardner

Hi Ian

If you can solder Ok use traxxas, I use these on most of my models.

Most R/C car shops like Modelsinmotion, Modelsport or Wheelspin do them.

They are polorized so can’t be fitted the wrong way round.

Hope this helps

Hi Ian

I had problems with Tamiya connectors, especially trying to carry high current. So I started using deans plugs, these are used a lot by the aircraft modellers, and give good contact

Hi Lionel and Tom,

Thanks for the prompt replies and suggestions. I was looking at the Deans plugs on Model Power website but , of course, you can’t really know what you are looking at so it’s helpful to have some input. I might splash out on a pair of Deans and Traxxas ones and see which I prefer. Thanks again for the help.

Best wishes,

Ian
