5.5 Bullet parallel conectors

[egneg]

Picture how to ... any questions - just ask.

[millzee]

Great stuff, I think I might have to borrow that idea, that'll help me shorten things up.:thumbup:

[ron1950]

egneg u selling these things now with every prop?

[tanasit]

Smaller banana plugs will do if you don't have the brass rod.

[Superdave]

Can you post some pics of how these look in your boat. I still can't picture how they are set up?

[Joe007]

Do you drill a hole through your connectors? My bullet connectors only have one hole in them...
Joe

[egneg]

You can ... but the CC connectors I use have 2 holes and no cutout section.

This is about the only picture I have at the moment - hope it helps.

Do the Castle 5.5's have a hole on one side? I made a parallel connector using Castle 6.5's and they only have one hole so had to drill out the other side to fit the brass tubing through which worked well .

Yup just one side.

[egneg]

I will have to double check ... as CC bullets used to be the only ones I bought.

Cool is that just shrik wrap used to insulate the connectors? What are the little yellow rings?

[Joe007]

Joe

Yellow shrink under the black shrink

Thats a very good Idea. The only thing I would change is to use copper tubbing instead of the brass since it conducts electricity a little better.

A WHOLE LOT better !!!

No need to over-engineer this as the brass works just fine without any heat due to resistance.

Actually Steven V did it first, all I did was add pictures in a step by step format. Before this I used 8 awg stranded wire but this is much easier.

Thanks for all the help here on making the double connection out of the bullet connectors... I went on line and on ebay found Tough Racing out of Seoul Korea, they have the 5.5 bullets with holes though both ends.... I got ten pairs with shrink wrap tubing for like $8.00 shipped to my house... Took less than two weeks to get them...

[Basstronics]

Heres a new twist...

HobbyKing 8mm bullets. .155 solid brass rod- right thru the stock holes!

I made mine to fit the batteries. So I have 2 males/1 female, 2 females/1 male

i made a set with cc 6.5 bullets but still havent found heat shrink big enough , help here with that

[ron1950]

if your heat shrink is close to the size but not quit the right size streatch it with a pair of needle nose plyers...heat will bring it back to size
