Turnigy 4mm Heat Shrink Tube - RED (1mtr)

 Rednut 59 points

It seems to be Great Quality I just found by letting solder cool right down before covering does its job really well

I think it's 2:1 but it's good for use on 3mm things secures tightly.

It will shrink till half its size, sometimes more. 1/3 its size would be fair.

Shrink tubes come in 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 ratios. The type used in electronics, like this one, are 2:1. Usually the material is a little better than the minimum specified, so you will get srink ratios better than 2:1, and always less than 3:1.

The turnigy heat shrink tubes shrink to half of their original size when you heat them.

just buy one of each size! its cheap enough, and doesnt weigh anything! :)

I have found to be Great Quality and shrinks to half size

 berta_big 15 points

shrink ratio is 50pcnt the 10mm shrink down to 5mm

Super value, good quality heat shrink tube, and you get a **** ton for cheap.

aprox 50pcnt shrink, thats good for 3,5mm and 2mm goldconnectors, in fact i only use 4mm for all aplications for planestuff soldering. One size fits all :)

2 to 1 . 4mm will shrink to 2mm

 BernardoUruguay 259 points

yes!! I highly recommend it. I use it so I don´t burn them!

 Xenowolf 4 points

yes you can and it doesnt spoil it with burn marks

OLÁ, EU UTILIZO SOLDADOR PRÓPRIO OU MAÇARICO A UMA CERTA DISTANCIA. COM O MAÇARICO , FICA MUITO MELHOR ACABADO.

If its hot enough than it isn't a problem.. I always use a lighter en slowly en gently let is shrink.. Just don't keep it to long on one spot.. And move the lighter over the whole tube..

It's better to use a soldering iron than a Lighter because it's not so hot

 crashtastic 7 points

If you have a gas cooker just wave it over the flame(Hob)on that. Again don't hold it still in the flame but the heat dispersion evenly shrinks perfectly. Hope this helps. John

Blow dryer is not hot enough for this application.

Man you can but by god it can take a long time.. My lighter ran out of gas when i was doing the terminals on my battery and the missus came up with this idea.. Never again.. 5 seconds with a lighter.. about 5 minutes each with the blow dryer at full ball.

Maçarico sem duvidas é a melhor opção.

 rcmasterj 10 points

no it cannot have to be a heat gun or lighter

 eagleview 3 points

Yes it works great for me High heat high fan.

ho usato questo termoretraibile,è buono però lo dobbiamo prendere di 2 misure sopra alla misura dei connettori,esempio connettori 4mm termo 6mm

 Semut 23 points

yes can work..also can use lighter..:D

very good quality!*))

 jesc48 3 points

you can use a heat gun like you use for removing linoleum flooring, but not a blow dryer for hair.

 CapriJake 3 points

Hairdryer on full heat will work but might take awhile, a lighter will work but don't get the flame too close!

 taiping 18 points

i would recommend to use the part of your soldering iron thats not as hot as the tip, near the handle so it will still shrink it, just needs some practice

 Alvin 3 points

if it is at least 1800 watts but might take a couple minutes and i personally just use a lighter just a couple of seconds

 Josh 3 points

Would have to be a darn good hair dryer. I usually use the side of my soldering iron, barely get close to it, and it doesnt hurt to barely touch it. A lighter works really well but leaves black marks on the red. The Soldering iron leaves them pretty! =)

 Jossan 2 points

Regularly. No, what is normally use is a heat gun or a small blow torch but you can try with a blow dryer and it might help.

 allanGEE 12 points

One way to get the hair dryer option to work is to make a cone on the nozzle so that you get a concentrated blast of hot air. WARNING: This will also cause your blwo dryer to run hotter than it's supposed to. It could be damaged or catch fire. If the connection is exposed and you can move the wire and/or piece, a simple candle works. Start a good distance above the candle and see if it starts to shrink ** slowly lower until it does shrink, then rotate it. I have a little torch that runs of

ANY SOURCE OF HEAT WILL WORK PLEASE AWARD POINTS FOR THE TIP!!

 Lamborgotti 42 points

yes it can but its also easyly burnt with it, use a lighter for a second, thats good enuff

 David 22 points

This heat shrink is good for for soldering 12awg wire and also soldering to a deans or the xt60's.
If your useing a smaller awg wire like 14 to 16 I would get the 3mm shrink.

 Wazza_99 864 points

Good was planning on soldering the esc to xt60's. Thanks.

 yalcinemre 15 points

U can cover by this shrink tube and u can also use 6-5 one for bigger wire

 Oracus 76 points

Depends on the wire size!

 crysta97 9 points

This is good for almost wire requiring 60A below

 juan Camilo 1 points

wire size depends on your esc, but it is an excellent tool very useful to ensure good contact and prevent short circuits

good parts

depends on wire size, but should be fine

this is fine for some esc wires

 Alvin 3 points

sorry this shrink tube will not fit the 12AWG wires needs to be 5mm for that

 allanGEE 12 points

4mm is the inside diameter of the shrink tubing. It will shrink to half its size when heated. This makes it ideal for any wire with a 2-3mm diameter.

Did you all realize that you get this heatshrink for free (100pcnt savings) as a combo prize?
