Hello all,
I am not new to RC in general, but my experience is in Classic Pattern. All Glow up to now. I have picked up several of the Quick build kits. The mini's and the swappable three plane package. I have built the swappables and their power pods. My difficulty lies in the motor to ESC conncetors. I can solder fairly well. IMHO What I have a problem with is the ultra small size of the bullet connectors. I think they are 2mm. They are very difficult to press together. Not to mention I can't see the darn things, unless I look though my magnifying lap, with my 2x safety glasses on. My question is this: Can i use larger conncetors than what the amps call for? Like say a 3.5. or 4mm when the wire fits snuggly in a 2mm? I know for the bigger gauaged wire I can, but the minis and swappables use very small gauge wires on the motors. The bigger (3.5 and 4mm) have a larger solder cup in relation the the wise size. Is it ok to have a large pool of solder holding that small of a wire in place? Or is there a better option than bullet conncetors. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for the input!!
