Are these plugs used for motor-ESC connections?

rustofigus (53%)
Yes, you can use these for motor to ESC connections. They work great. Easy to solder. Tight, high amp rated, and they make it easy when, like me, you switch motors and ESCs on planes to find the best fit.

Gerhard (15%)
depends on the model but common for motor-ESC connections are 3,5mm

zagonielod (55%)
on my monster truck there is 4mm.... 3,5 are common for the batteries too?

Pers3o (67%)
Yes, you can use for motor-esc connector but usually others use short 3,5mm gold connectors but 4 mm are great.

discosuy (76%)
Yes. You can use these plugs to connect motor-esc. And you can use them to connect esc-battery too. A must have.

80Alle (55%)
yes! they are fantastic!

oldvinyll (52%)
Yes, I use them for ALL my 450 and 600 class Helis and as well for large scale 1,70 Lama (2 x 6s configuration).

JC (10%)
Yes they are! But depending on the motor/esc power the size can vary

delmo@leunet.ch (42%)
Yes, you can use them for almost any connection you want and they are often used as connectors on 500-600 size brushleyy motors.

kee660 (65%)
this 4mm connector use for bigger esc like 80A, 450 heli or 40A ESC usually use 3.5mm only

rchajue (79%)
No, 3.5mm connectors are used to connect motor an ESC.

simcher (6%)
yes you can, infact i'm using that right now, it's perfect.

Denyo (48%)
use it for whatever u want. note that currents above 100 amp is not recommended!

papisid (15%)
I use them on KD3674 1900KV They work good

ombre (17%)
Yes,it's perfect but a bit big for foamies.

RCWerner (29%)
most standard accessoires for motorconnectors are 3,5 mm. If you change both sides - you can use them.

yogilours (73%)
Hello You can use them for motor ESC connection, no problem.

Tieto (57%)
Yes, and they are an exellent choice. Been using it for everything (for now up to 40amps) to keep a "standard" on my motors and escs. Remember to buy 5mm heat shrink tube to protect the connectors from each other.

ZekeVal (13%)
You can do so, but they are pretty long, prefer the 3.5mm bullet connectors

vaughan (52%)
They came on one motor I bought (KD 36-28S Brushless Outrunner 1140Kv - which burnt out after a few short flights), but all the other motors I bought using a 25amp esc, have the same plug but in the 3.5mm size.

Dane McGee (25%)
Yes, they can be used for any connection in the electrical system.

murmas (75%)
Yes, you can take the connectors for this

lemmens (13%)
Yes, I use them for that

SmartExpert (43%)
You can use them for motor-ESC connections. But usually motors come with the smaller 3.5mm conectors, IF they come with connectors. I prefere to solder motors directly to the ESC. I like this 4mm Gold connectors for battery connection with 5mm shrink tube.

Mastermag (55%)
I would say they are mainly made for esc-battery connection. But they sure work for motor-esc aswell.

aerofly (33%)
Thes are the common plug/socket for motor-esc connections, the common wiring is the male to the black negative wire and the female to the red positive wire

mutlu_tekir (29%)
generally yeah. but you can use it anywhere you want.

sucram (66%)
Hello! Yes they can be used for this connections

hrafnkell (13%)
Yes they are sometimes used for those connections. Depends a bit on the size of the ESC and motor. If you run a small motor you can use smaller connectors, and if the motor is HUGE you might need bigger connectors that can handle more current.

Cedric-Be (24%)
Yes , for sure

DaoTpc (10%)
sim nos 450, nos 250 uso 2mm

yoggi (56%)
YES :)

lolsen (-23%)
Yes they are, there is nothing better for it in my opinion!
greetings matze

wrxnfx (17%)
Yes, you can use them for motor-ESC connections which is what I use them for. Can also be used for battery connections, too.

brushlesspower (0%)
Yes, and they are great quality for the price!

zagonielod (55%)
OK! thanks! please, NO MORE REPLYS!

jamming101 (46%)
Yes, that's what I use them for, and they will carry a fair amount of current between the three of them. You could use them to connect battery-esc, but I would recommend the ones with plastic isulators around the plugs http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=9283

which also happen to be cheaper. Maybe they're lower quality, but they're at least insulated.
But for motor-ESC these work great for high-current systems.

VTOLman (34%)
yes. There are also some plugs that have three poles so u don't have to plug seperatly.

dollop@mail.ru (13%)
Yes, you are right!

Robsrotor (30%)
yes they are good for that.

vnt17 (23%)
i use smaller ones like 2mm for motor-esc connections. only if the motor draws much amps (100A and over) id use these.

dhtfhftghf (29%)
yes they work good

nobodyFamous (93%)
yes they can be used for that. I can not say if they will fit any existing connectors on your motor or ESC, but you can replace any existing with these. very nice, good snug fit. You will need shrink tube to go over them as well.

FRENZY GUY (7%)
Thats what i use them for....they work great

tommo85 (42%)
Very good, maybe a bit heavy for a lot of motors, however. a 3.5mm bullet will provide enough current for all but the really big motors.

Matevz (25%)
can be. i use them all the time. i either use 4mm connectors or try to match those supplied with the motor. i always use gold connectors for motor-esc connections.

etiennevdb (28%)
Yes, they could be used in that config. They are a bit 'heavy duty'!!

Robsrotor (30%)
yes they are good for motor-esc use, they handle loads of amps i've never had any get hot at all

DobX1 (34%)
Sometimes for cars and ships.
For flight models the 3,5mm Gold Connectors are very common.

Peruzzo (58%)
Li ho acquistati per caso, ma ne sono pienamente soddisfatto in quanto resistono ottimamente al passaggio di corrente anche alta.

juergen400 (60%)
you can use it for all connections.

old crow (50%)
Hi!
Yes they are. I use connectors like these on both my planes. I fly with Turnigy 63-64 and 63-74 motors and a 10s lipo setup with Sentilon 100A ESC and even with hard flying the connectors stay cold. So they can take quite a punch. I highly recommend them!

VladimirVF (56%)
I use these plugs on 450 heli (40A) and 30e warbird(40-50A) for motor-esc connections. You can obtain reasonably secure connection.

philgabanski (48%)
They can be used for that! They can also be used for any electrical connection. Just make sure that if you purchase a motor that has connectors already attached, that these are the same width. i.e. 4mm

verorich (0%)
yes very often

kluifje (72%)
Yes, If you have a big motor with lots of amps. These are good!

Peter (25%)
Can i use this to make my own charging leads for lipos?

Miles-away (77%)
Yes, as it is 4mm like every other charging cable.

This customer was awarded a credit for their answer.

Jon M (28%)
Yes, you can use them to make your own charge leads for lipos. I have used it and it works fine.

T3rry (-9%)
that's my primary use for this item.

AK (40%)
Yes you can

Ivan13 (62%)
Yes you can with these.

Gerhard (15%)
yes, i did so

discosuy (76%)
Of course you can. No problem.

Eric (25%)
yes you can :-)

rchajue (79%)
If the lipos ahve the same connectors, yes.

yogilours (73%)
Yes ! *o)

vaughan (52%)
Sure. But it is advisable to use any plug in a way that prevents you from accidentally reversing polarity when joining them up.

eszaqsc (86%)
yes, as long as i can remember, i use this connector to make a charging leads on my iCharger 106B (from the charger to battery for the male connector and also from power supply to the charger for the female connector)

ken (22%)
If you are referring to plugging them into a standerd charger output , I would reccomend standerd bananas as opposed to bullets . Look on this site under wire and connectors , best price I have found yet. hope this helps , Ken

roche (0%)
Of course, I've done several cables for my diffrent batteries with those connectors.

seanpaul (17%)
Hi, If they fit? sure. Make sure they fit snugly and no bare surfaces to shortcircuit. Paul

mutlu_tekir (29%)
yeah dude, you can. i did too. but be careful about the red and black while pluging.

Cedric-Be (24%)
Yes, for sure

lolsen (-23%)
Yes you can!

lolsen (-23%)
yes you can

wrxnfx (17%)
Yes, you could use these to make your own charging leads. I use them for this and for motor to ESC connections.

Michael (20%)
Absolutely!! They are perfect for this purpose!!

vnt17 (23%)
of course you can. these solder very well.

nobodyFamous (93%)
yes, they fit the iCharger and I believe others as well.

Videoace1 (25%)
Absolutely! I've been using them for years.

Matevz (25%)
yes, of course. they fit in the most chargers. i try to have 4mm system all round. lately with so much high voltage packs i also use 6mm but the end that goes into charger is 4mm

Peruzzo (58%)
Li ho acquistati per caso, ma ne sono pienamente soddisfatto in quanto resistono ottimamente al passaggio di corrente anche alta.

juergen400 (60%)
yes this is possible

old crow (50%)
Hi!
Yes you can. I have made several charging leads for my lipo chargers and they work perfectly.

philgabanski (48%)
Yeas you can!

braadert (100%)
Yes, you can.

Yasuhiro Yada (40%)
Do you fit it with a connector of the SCORPION HK-4035 series?

Markuskn (0%)
They will fit, there are 4mm Connectors on the Scorpion HK40xx

mad_box (62%)
I have ordered two HK4025 and one arrived with 4mm and one with 3.5mm connector, but always with male and female part of connector.

Peruzzo (58%)
Li ho acquistati per caso, ma ne sono pienamente soddisfatto in quanto resistono ottimamente al passaggio di corrente anche alta.

juergen400 (60%)
All Scorpion HK-4035 series motors come with 4mm male Bullet style connectors.

verorich (0%)
Yes but tight, don't heat up good power i like it for the price.

10/5/2009
Diego (25%)
does it fit the TuRnigy 28-26 1650Kv Brushless Outrunner standard connectors?

mutlu_tekir (29%)
yesi fits.

juergen400 (60%)
no they are to big

7171TBJ (58%)
What's the difference between these and AM1009x10?
AM1009x10 costs only 32.5% of these.

T3rry (-9%)
the only advantage i can see is the shipping weight is roughly half of that other sku.

juergen400 (60%)
the AM1009x10 are 10 pairs/set

the HXT 4mm Gold Connector w/ Protector are 10pcs/set

volrcr (59%)
Not true. The item, HXT 4mm Gold Connector w/Protector includes 10 pairs of connectors and 10 protectors for 1/3 the cost of these. Although these have a 26g shipping weight advantage over the HXT set, the HXT set is still a better deal even if you don't use the protectors that come with them.

Mrkaza (77%)
Does this fit with the connectors that the new Flightmax packs have ?

4s 3000mha

Thanks in advance

flyboy69 (47%)
Yes, they will fit but the shrink tube that you put on them will not go into the plastic housing of the plug on the battery. You have to remove the plastic battery plug housing and shrink wrap it as well or buy a corresponding plug that Hobbyking offers. Hope this helps.

Diego (25%)
does it fit the TuRnigy 28-26 1650Kv Brushless Outrunner standard connectors?

juergen400 (60%)
yes they fit.

Joao (82%)
Otima quality and of facil rabbet.

juergen400 (60%)
this is right

telang (83%)
do these connectors fit into the charger outlet?

Henrik Nicolai (67%)
Yes, the 4mm Gold Connectors have standard banana stick size that fits the charger's outlets.
