OIC! Can i buy one of those harness somewhere? I don't know how to make the T Part of the harness, looks difficult to make. Thanks 4 the pics. Can i use ec5 connectors?

I seen guys on here that make and sell them. If you solder very well, you can make them yourself. I used 8mm bullets going to 5.5mm bullets for the batteries. Attached them together with solder and small copper tubing.

i use 5.5mm connectors!!! if you want to change all your plugs i can make you a set of the T-connectors...

Really? You would do that for me? I need it for 2 boats mystic and mg. Let me know. Thank you

Sure but youll have to buy yourself a pack of connectors to install on your boats!! I can make them shaped like the kinda Y style like you see in skyhighdiver's post wich i recomend or i can make them T style like you see in dana's post!!! Dont forget you will also have to put the same connectors on your batteries and on your charger. PS you cover shipping should only be afew dollars.

So everything has to be 5.5 mm bullets? What do you think about ec5 connectors?

Some would not agree but i think ec5's are ok seeing i used to run ec3's cuz thats the size connectors on the motor plugs in the factory MG but,,, i started my boats out with deans cuz everyone said they were the best then i heard ec3 were the best and got tired of changing up, so i went with the 5.5 bullets wich everyone said were great then everyone said 8.8mm's so i decided the 5.5's are plenty big and i have been useing them in everything i have including my Slash 1/10 scale truck!!! So (I) recomend the 5.5's, i dont think youll ever need anything bigger,,,but yes you will have to put them on everything Motor wires, esc wires, battery wires, charger wires,,,,i dont have 8mm on my motors so its up to you there, i have 5.5'mm on everything,, heres some pics of my T-connectors, i had Y-connectors but my brothers boat needed them so no pics of them and they look alot better then my T's..i found the last pic of my buddies Y-connectors and mine looked just like his, so heres his pic to show them..

Damn! They look fantastic, are you using brass or copper rods to make these connectors. Can you make me 4 sets of the Y-connectors? Let me know asap. Thank You So Much!

All these are silver solderd together,,, 4 sets? do you mean 2 sets 4 plugs total,,, 1 set of 2 plugs for each boat!!! The Y-shape not the T-shape wright.

[egneg]

They are not that hard to make ... here is a picture "how to"

Great job on yours Egneg!!! My 5.5's dont have the holes threw the sides to hold them with tubing like yours i have to pinch them together to hold them so i can do the soldering but they turnout good thow,, OK Big L,, Its going to take alot of my 5.5's to do these for ya, like 3 plugs per Y-connector times 4 sets thats 8 connectors!!! So thats 24 5.5 plugs i dont think i have that many,,,, if youll get me somemore ill make them other wise thats just to many!! I was just gonna make you two to use in your current boat but Dude,, let me see how much it will cost me to get a new bag of them first, for 24 plugs i may have to charge ya to do them...
