Default Connectors?

I have read the review of the Hanger 9 Twist E-conversion. The author mentions a FMA series connector. Where do I get that type of connector and what type of connectors do you use to connect the speed controller to the motor?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Hal; You can get the connector directly from FMA, Tower, or Hobby Lobby. I used Deans connectors for my wires..........

I've been using Deans Ultra so far as well. I was thinking for ease of use of perhaps switching to Astro Zero Loss. I know they are more expensive. Any strong opinions one way or another?

I have ended up going with Anderson Powerpoles. A little bulky but light and you crimp rather than solder and they are very easy to connect/disconnect.

I've been using the MP Jett connectors prefer them over the Deans as they are eaiser to solder. No matter what I do with a Deans it will warp or distort at the slightest touch of my soldering iron. Not nocking Deans as I used them but found the MP Jett eaiser to work with.

Take a look at the new connector that Tanic is carring.. easy to use and will handle up to 85 amps...

There website is Tanicpacks.com


Cheers,85 amp high current connectors
[Shultze 3.5mm plug] $3.95


These are a welcome alternative for those who have high current applications. These SHULTZE 3.5mm plugs offer a snug precise fit yet easy to remove. These have a rating of 85 amps continuous and 150 amp peak discharge capability. Housings sold in red or black, but you must specify if for the battery, controller or charger. Includes instructions.

No more tearing apart your plane or heli because of disconnecting
