Arrow,
Glad the 3rd arm worked good for ya, use mine all the time.
Crashcrash, had a good idea about crimp connectors, here's some at Radio Shack:

All your Auto Parts stores carry them too, NAPA, Auto Zone, etc. Also, if you look around at the auto store, you'll find lots of stuff you can use for the heli, heat shrink tubing, fuses(for 7.5 or 3 amp modifications), tiny little tools.

Ugh.............. Went and got some new jst connectors, a new set of motor wires and shrink tubing. Also got a dard 3rd hand like choppers has. Was 19 bucks, but worth it. Was thinking I was gonna solder the battery leads to the JST connectors (11.1 1250 mah lipos) then shrink tube over the whole thing. But I don't think getting those wires up to 700F on a lipo is such a good idea. The reason I was gonna go that way is that the leads off the battery are 10 guage wire, and the JST leads are like 24 guage. There is no butt connecter in the world I know of that will work. So let me put it to you guys. How should I connect those JST's to that 10 guage wire without blowing up the batterys and burning down the house?
BTW Dave, love the 3rd arm! and Barrrick.........sweet vids, lookyj is a good man and looks like your new production editor! Glad you found a magnifying lamp that works for you too!
