Status: offline 		Some third party connectors either go in tight or will not fit.

I find that the Spektrum Rx cases have very tight tolerances. If I push a JR male connector into a Spektrum case, it fits perfectly, but if I use another manufacturer's JR compatible male connector, it is a real pain to get it in the socket. The same is true when I use JR compatible Female connectors on ESV's. Sometimes it is difficult to push them into a JR Switch Harness.

Status: offline 		yeah I have the same issues. I end up sanding the connectors a little to get the proper fit.
I think what I'm going to do in this instance is make my own from 18ga wire since I'm running dual high torque digitals @ 6volts and use OEM gold plated connectors.
Can't seem to find anything ready made that's going to fit the bill.
