Paralell adaptor(what size bullets?)

[forescott]

Does anyone know what size bullets I can fit 2-12ga. wires into?? Looking to build a paralell adaptor for 4s2p into my turnigy 180. Thanks!!

Look for 8mm bullets. Steve sells these as does cheapbatterypacks.com

You will only nedd 5 or 5.5 mm max, unless your pulling huge amp #'s

These are as big as you want to go,fits 12ga wire well,cheap too.

Yeah, but understand that I want to fit (2) 12ga. wires into (1) bullet connector.

[Rumdog]

why?

[egneg]

Why not use adapters for this.

How did you do that??????

I am looking for the cleanest way to run 2 turnigy 4s lipos(10ga. wires) paralell, into my turnigy 180a esc. I want to use bullet connectors and I like the EC5 connectors from losi. But I am open to any suggestions. So I will have 2-10ga posotive wires and 2-10ga. negative wires going into 1-12ga. posotive and 1-12ga. negative wire from the esc. Not sure how to accomplish this.

All I did was strip some insul., and solder a short piece of wire to the main wire while weaving some of the strands together.

Here is a picture of the basic assembly, I soldered 8 awg wire in each male connector and then soldered it to the female connectors. I leave a bit extra with insulation to hold the 8 awg together and cut off the extra when done. Then I use heat shrink to cover it up.
