I think the s107 is the best 3 channel micro heli, I have Over 100 flights on mine. The above picture was from a different forum but I liked it. Here is mine

that doesn't look that efficient, at least solder the wires together

redfisher1974

Ok I see, You have traxxas connectors with pig tails. Not as neat but it will work. If you dont want to solder you should check out anderson powerpoles.

redfisher1974

With the proper crimpers a crimped connection is better then solder. Good crimpers can cost over a $100.

Krazy Chicken

yeah i know. my dad is an electrician and has some. but some solder in it would make the joint less prone to be pulled apart

redfisher1974

Cool, My dad is a electrician as well. He has hydraulic crimpers that will crimp wire as big as your wrist.

Krazy Chicken

lol mine doesn't have any like that.

Photobucket is cool. I have my RC photos on there now. If you click on the text in the box labeled IMG code under the icon of a photo it will save the text for imbedding photos and all you have to do is paste it in the post box here.

redfisher1974

Yeah seems to work good.

my dad does alot of high voltage transformer substation work, Hence the need for the big tools.

Krazy Chicken

Hey guys, since we are talking about wires and crimpers...

redfisher1974

Not sure about JST connectors but for $30 you could get a set of these (below) They crimp insulated and non-insulated crimps and Anderson power poles.





Now if you want the best crimper for power poles this is it.

Why crimpers? And not pliers?

Velociraptor73

Thanks Red

redfisher1974

You can get the first set i showed you for as low as $12 and the anderson crimpers are $39.

You need proper crimper's to make a good crimp that will not pull apart and have low resistance.

AL3xGR

Cannot somebody do it with pliers? I think 39$ to 400$ are too much for special pliers...

redfisher1974

Yeah you could do it with a rock if you had to, But you can not get the same quality of crimp. This being said a good pair of crimper's last a life time and are more then worth the money.

AL3xGR

Anderson power poles cannot be soldered? Also,could you tell me the cost of each pair?

redfisher1974

Yes you can solder them, they cost about a $1 a pair.
