Default molex connectors

Would anyone on our esteemed forum know where to get Molex 3 pin connectors assembled with about 3 too4 inches of wire. These are the connectors on the Tamiya recoil units. I know I can get the parts and assemble them but don't feel like spending 250.00 for the special pliers to do this for a half dozen or so tanks.

Thanks
Mike EOT

Molex go together quite easily with a radio shack stripper/crimper and a soldering iron. I've assembled dozens for my RC blimps.

You know mike, my crimp tool for 3 pin receiver plugs might actually do the job...? The pins are a lot shorter, but the finished item is crushed down to about the same dimensions [&:]

I have actually been very successful crimping them by hand. They are very tiny and a little tough with my tired old fingers but I can still do it . Bob AKA TheCommander has a good source for all the proper connectors and pins with part numbers so maybe shoot him a PM. i have used the place with good success so that is a very good option.
