Connector size

[timberjack73]

I ordered a ose raider 6s 150amp esc. What size are the batteries and motors connectors?

[Panther6834]

There are ose-6bullet connectors on the motor end, and ose-qs6p connectors on the battery end, exactly as it states on the OSE website.

Thank you. I must have overlooked.

You're welcome...and, no worries. I should also mention that the ose-qs6 connectors are not "true", meaning that they are not exactly 6mm. Although they are reported as being '6mm', they are actually slightly smaller...the female side measures 5.90mm. For this reason, I ended cutting the ose-qs6 connectors off some ESCs, as well as several batteries, and replacing them with 'true' 6mm connectors. I will be doing the same to the remainder of my ESCs & batteries still having the ose-qs6 connectors.

This is NOT to say the ose-qs6 connectors are "bad"...they aren't. In truth, they're extremely good, and do exactly what they need to do. The down side is that they are more difficult to obtain...and, when ordering batteries, of your want packs worn connectors already soldered on, you have to get them from OSE. As I obtain packs from multiple sources (including Steve), and I prefer to keep my soldering to an absolute minimum, I'm using 6mm solderless connectors, which are much easier to install/remove/replace. As Steve carries a plethora of connectors, I can (almost) always obtain what I need.

RCPROPLUS. Although other retailers also carry them, I get them from Amain.

Ok - I looked at both web sites, Neither carry Solderless connectors
Why would anyone want Solderless anyway.

Amain does carry them. In the search bar, just enter 'RCPROPLUS solderless'. The ones you'll be looking for area the S7 Supra X.

As for why to use solderless connectors there are several reasons. One is that are easier to 'build' than having to deal with solder, and soldering. More importantly, they are reusable...and, should temperatures get excessively high, you don't have to worry about the solder melting, and the wires de-soldering themselves from the connectors.

Now, I don't recall off the top of my head. And, since I am working, and not home, I can't check. I would recommend checking the manufacturer's site.

Those are the exact connectors I've been trying to tell Larry about.

These would work for larger Cats and 1/8 scale Hydros. Simple google search . I can't find reviews on them though. Interesting that's for sure.

Nowhere on the web site does it say what the connector diameter is. For example, what the heck is REB5810 Pro S5 P8?
