RE: making your own servo ends
I bought all the stuff to make my own ends.... I find its easier and more reliable to just cut and solder in an extension of HD wire... Crimping the gold connector properly and getting it all the way into the plug is a PIA...
Still do it for my micro helicopters, where the heat shrink from the solder job would be too stiff...but on a long extension... I say solder it...
